Have Mercy

Well, I was standing in line at the city bus stop
Soaked to the skin from every rain drop
I see you driving by just like a phantom jet
With your arm around some little brunette
You say you won't be home because you're working late
Honey, I'm no fool, you've been out on a date
The lipstick on your collar gives your game away
It's strawberry red and mine's pink rosé

Have mercy (Mercy) on me
You treat me so bad, I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see?
Baby, baby, have mercy on me, yeah

Well, I called you up on the telephone
I could hear you was playing Haggard and Jones
I knew right then that there was something wrong
There's only one reason you play cheating songs

Have mercy (Mercy) on me
You treat me so bad, I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see?
Baby, baby, have mercy on me, yeah

Well, I went to the bank with my little checkbook
The cashier, he gave me the strangest look
Said, "You ain't got no money 'cause you're overdrawn
Your man took it all and he's done gone"

Have mercy (Mercy) on me
You treat me so bad, I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see?
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Have mercy, yeah, on me
You treat me so bad, I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see?
Baby, baby, have mercy on me, ow

Mercy on me (Yeah)
You treat me so bad, I'm in misery (Ooh)
It's breaking my heart, can't you see?
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me (Baby, baby)
You treat me so bad, I'm in misery
