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 week

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



Ou ni, 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



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
