Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, mercy, woman
Plays a song and no one listens
I need help, I'm falling again
Yeah, play the drum a little bit louder
Tell me I can live without her
If I only listen to the band
Listen to the band
[Verse 2]
Whoa, weren't they good?
They made me happy
I think I can make it alone
[Verse 3]
Whoa, mercy, woman
Plays a song and no one listens
I need help, I'm falling again
Yeah, play the drum a little bit louder
Tell me I can live without her
If I only listen to the band
Listen to the band
[Verse 4]
Whoa, weren't they good?
They made me happy
I think I can make it alone
[Verse 5]
Yeah, mercy, woman
Plays a song and no one listens
I need help, I'm falling again
Yeah, play the drum a little bit louder
Tell me I can live without her
Now that I have listened to the band
Play it
[Verse 6]
Oh, weren't they good?
They made me happy
I think I can make it alone
[Verse 7]
Whoa, mercy, woman
Plays a song and nobody listenin'
I need help, I'm falling again
Yeah, play the drum a little louder, Johnny
Tell me I can live without her
Now that I have listened to the band
My, my
