Lyrics

Ah, yeah!
Have mercy on my soul, baby
And I need you
(Mercy, mercy baby) Oh, mercy, mercy baby
(Mercy, mercy baby) Baby, I need you, baby
(Mercy, mercy baby)
Come on back home, come on back home, baby
(Mercy, mercy baby) Oh, mercy, mercy baby
(Mercy, mercy baby) Lord, send 'em back to me, baby
(Mercy, mercy baby) Whoa, mercy, mercy baby
Oh, mercy, mercy
Yeah!
Like if you need me!
(Mercy, mercy baby) And I'm crying, I'm crying for you, baby
(Mercy, mercy baby)
Come on back home, come on back home, baby
(Mercy, mercy baby)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on my baby
(Mercy, mercy baby) Whoa, baby, baby
Come on baby!
Come on baby, woo!
Yeah!
One stop mercy
Lord have mercy
One stop mercy
Lord have mercy
One stop mercy
Lord have mercy
One stop mercy
Lord have mercy
(Mercy, mercy baby)
(Mercy, mercy baby) Mercy, alright, mercy baby
(Mercy, mercy baby)
Don't you hear me, baby? Come on back home, baby
(Mercy, mercy baby) I'll treat you right and I'll make you mine
(Mercy, mercy baby) You wanna leave me, oh baby
(Mercy, mercy baby) Get out, baby, please, I'm cryin'
(Mercy, mercy baby) Come on back home, baby, yeah
(Mercy, mercy baby) Woo! But I need you
(Mercy, mercy baby)
