Have Mercy

Well, I was standing in line at the city bus stop Soaked to the skin from every rain drop 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 playin' 'Haggard and Jones' I knew right then that there was something wrong There's only one reason you play cheatin' 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 Well, I went up to the bank with my little check book The cashier he gave me the strangest look He said you ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn Your man took it all and he's 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 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
