Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh darling
Oh darling
I am calling
Out your name
[Verse 2]
And I've got a feeling
Mighty revealing
That your tender heart
Feels the same
[Verse 3]
But it ain't easy
No it ain't easy
For a grown man
To confide
[Verse 4]
That I need your love
Mmm, flesh and blood
That's why I'm calling
Calling on you
[Verse 5]
And your mercy
Sweet mercy
Send it down the line
Oh, right on time
[Verse 6]
You know you do it for me
Yes, you build me up
And you fill my cup
With your mercy
[Verse 7]
Oh darling
Yes darling
I can hear you
Calling out my name
[Verse 8]
And it sounds so good
Each time we meet
Like a rollin' melody
You've got a hold on me
[Verse 9]
Still it ain't easy
No it ain't easy
For a grown woman
To confide
[Verse 10]
That I need your love
Mmm, flesh and blood
That's why I'm calling
I'm calling on you
[Verse 11]
Oh darling
Only you can rescue me
I am calling
Calling down on bended knee
[Verse 12]
Wondering
Wondering when will we arrive
Believing and seeing
That love took in your eye
[Verse 13]
Oh mercy
Sweet soul mercy
Send it down the line
Oh right on time
[Verse 14]
You know you do it for me
Yes, you build me up
And you fill my cup
With your mercy
[Verse 15]
Oh mercy
Mmm, oh mercy
Oh, oh mercy
