Love Have Mercy

(album: It Ain't Easy - 1982)

Girlfriends warned me
Don't believe his lies
I felt so helpless
Looking in his eyes

I couldn't resist those tender looks
I couldn't resist his charms
I should have known
If he got me alone
I'd wind up in his arms

Oh, love have mercy on my heart tonight
I'm out of control, he's holding me tight
It's too late to worry
Too weak to fight
Oh, love, have mercy on me tonight

Didn't listen to my friends advice
No one, tells me, how to live my life
They said; "If you know what's good for you
Take your heart and run"
But, if I do what others say
I wouldn't have any fun

Oh, love have mercy on my heart tonight
I'm out of control, he's holding me tight
It's too late to worry
Too weak to fight
Oh, love, have mercy on me tonight

Oh, love have mercy on my heart tonight
I'm out of control, he's holding me tight
It's too late to worry
Too weak to fight
Oh, love, have mercy on me tonight

Oh, love have mercy
Oh, love have mercy on my heart tonight

Oh, love have mercy
Oh, love have mercy on my heart tonight
Oh, love have mercy
