Have Mercy

[Verse 1] Well, I was standin' in line at the city bus stop Soaked to the skin from every rain drop I see you drivin' by just like a phantom jet With your arm around some little brunette You say you won't be home because you're workin' 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 rosé [Chorus] Have mercy (Mercy) on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me, yeah [Verse 2] Well, I called you up on the telephone I could hear you was playin' Haggard and Jones I knew right then that there was somethin' wrong There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs [Chorus] Have mercy (Mercy) on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me, yeah [Verse 3] Well, I went to the bank with my little checkbook The cashier, he gave me the strangest look Said, "You ain't got no money 'cause you're overdrawn Your man took it all and he's done gone" [Chorus] Have mercy (Mercy) on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me Have mercy, yeah, on me You treat me so bad, I'm in misery It's breakin' my heart, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me, ow [Outro] Mercy on me (Yeah) You treat me so bad, I'm in misery (Ooh) It's breakin' my heart, can't you see? Baby, baby, have mercy on me Have mercy on me (Baby, baby) You treat me so bad, I'm in misery
