"Lord Have Mercy" lyrics

Oh my Mama couldn't tell me 'bout the feeling I feel
At 9:49 on a Sunday mornin' still
Gran's all dressed up and she's headed to church
But I'm in bed tired from last night's work
So Lord please, have mercy on me

And some lady's down the street tellin' people the news
But what they don't really know is that she haven't a clue
'Round the way and up above, some folks flyin' high
See sad smiles in their eyes they ain't doin' fine
Oh Lord please, have mercy on me

Hey, can you see me in those sad smiling eyes?
Can you see me in those sad smiling eyes?
Mama, can you hear me in those sad smiling eyes? (Yeah)
Oh Mama, can you hear me, in those sad smiling eyes? (Yeah)

Oh my Mama couldn't tell me 'bout the feeling I feel
But the love, let's me know, yeah let's me know

So Lord please, have mercy on me
So Lord please, have mercy on me
Got to have mercy
Got to have
Got to, got to have mercy
Got to, got to have mercy
So Lord please, have mercy on me
