Third World Woman

What if I, without a mother, Starin' from my TV What if there were my brown eyed baby Hungry as she could be What if there were my family What if there was my world Waitin' on water, waitin' on a vaccine Waitin' on someone to bring me a bag o' beans Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, Have mercy on me What if I was a mother I was waitin' on me Big success, so well dressed On the other side of the sea Livin' with my distractions Life's been good to me Maybe she's prayin' Prayin' for a miracle Maybe the answer is me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me I was born in Georgia I could do as I pleased I can get my hands on Just about anything I might need Who's that third world woman? Maybe she could be Could be a mother, could be a daughter Could be a sister to me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me
