"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" lyrics

It seems life has played a game on me
I'm lost in a sea of misery (Yeah)
My love has turned his back on me (Na na)
Heartache, why won't you let me be?

I say now baby, have some mercy please
Don't make me beg on bended knees
Oh please, mercy, mercy, mercy please
Have mercy on me
Mercy, mercy, mercy, please

Oh, how can I face life without you?
What would I do if we were through?

Don't you know, daddy, I wait for you every single night
Hopin' you'll return and make things right
You don't show and I'm sittin' here all alone, all alone
To pray you're gonna call me on the phone

Baby, have some mercy please
Don't make your mama beg on her bended knees
Oh please, mercy, mercy, mercy please
Have mercy on me
Mercy, mercy, mercy, please

You know I love you and I'm beggin'
For one more chance, one chance once more

Mmm hmm, I know life's got many a twist
But lovin' you daddy is the thing I cannot resist
Your love and understandin' you've been givin', givin', givin'
Without it, I just can't go on livin' now

Baby, have some mercy please
Don't make me beg on bended knees
I said now, mercy, mercy, mercy
Oh, please have mercy on me
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Whoo, have mercy on me baby

Just one more time
Have mercy on me baby
Help me now, oh baby
