Lyrics
Love have mercy, yeah, on my soul
How many kisses, y’all, have I stole
From other girls they didn’t belong to me That’s why the payback is just misery, yeah
Love have mercy, y’all, Lord
Love have mercy on me now
Love have mercy, y’all, on my heart
For this young girl is just tearing it apart
It’s got me weak, oh don’t ever let me go
'Cause I couldn’t stand to reap what I’ve sown now
Love have mercy, y’all, huh
Love have mercy on me, yeah
This feeling, Lord, is killing me All the things I did wasn’t right
And now I’m just sittin' like a duck
Sittin' here on that dynamite, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh wee, now, lord, somebody help me Comin' loose y’all
Love have mercy, yeah, on this man
All the wrong I did, now I understand
I broke a lot of hearts before I got to her
And now this suffering just like they were, tell me 'bout it Love have mercy, yeah, ooh
Love have mercy on poor me, ha Love have mercy
Yeah, got to tell you about it You got me sufferin'
Lord, just like they were
Don’t make me suffer
Don’t make me, love have mercy on me Don’t make me suffer, no no no no no no
Love have mercy, mercy, mercy
Love have mercy, mercy, mercy
Love have mercy on me No don’t do it to me You got me doin' the things I don’t wan' do You got me suff’rin' just like the girls were
Sorry 'bout that
Sorry 'bout that
