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 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

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 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

He said, "You ain't got no money 'cause you're overdrawn

Your man took it all and he's a-, a-done gone"

Have 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 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, oww!

Have mercy

Have mercy on me

You treat me so bad, I'm in misery

It's breaking my heart, honey, can't you see?

Baby, baby, have mercy on me, oww!
