Have mercy on a poor boy's heart
Cause I got the key that can
Make your motor start
Can't you love me
Without messin' me around
You utook everything I got
Then kick me when I'm down
Ooo, got this funny feeling
That you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes
But all I see's the devil

CHORUS
I heard through the vine
that you might not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind
Before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time

Have mercy on a poor boy's soul
I've been down so long
Never thought I could feel so low
First you love me
Then you stab my back
Close the door, turn the key
All I can see is black
Ooo, got this funny feeling
That you ain't on the level
I look into those eys
But all I see's the devil

CHORUS

Loves got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time

So what's a poor boy supposed to do
I've done everything I can
I've been so true
You got a mean streak
Like an alley cat
You sucked all the love from me
Like a vampire bat
Ooo, got this funny feeling
That you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes
But all I see's  the devil

CHORUS
