V1: I know trouble makes it's way around but it only seems to get me down/ I know that life ain't always fair but am I getting more than my share/ how can I be as happy as he, when I am filled with calamity/ I know he don't know longer love me, father-mother god please
Chorus: Have Mercy x4
V2: So tired of being your whipping boy, so tired of feeling like I am in your employ/ I know my mind just ain't that strong, know I was a fool to be takin' you on/ So tired of solving your mystery, I know you did take one good look at me/ you wondered like the rest of them what good you'd think I'd be, I no longer believe but you gotta
Chorus
Bridge: If we could only be still for awhile/ you could be more than just one of my trials/ we go out dancing two sweet juveniles/ la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
but you gotta have mercy, o0oh x4
V3: Consumed my lust now I'm dry as dust/ I was a fool to ever give you my trust/ well you knocked me down a hundred times/ see there you go again telling your lies/ before I met you I was doing alright/ well when I met you, you drank ever night/ now that I've loved you I've been feeling so cold/ 'cause you think like Moses and I think like Job
Chorus
