"Have Mercy" lyrics

Well, I was standing in line at the city bus stop
Soaked to the skin from every raindrop
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 roses

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

Woo

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, oh

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
Ow
Have mercy, baby
