Mama Mercy

I was catching up with my baby

When I saw you coming down the road

I thought, "Mercy mama, don't let it get me

I've got a happy life a home"

But as sure as, sure as you passed me

Of course I had to look

And as I turned my head, I knew right then

I was gonna have to do it again

And I was singing, "Mercy

Mercy mama, don't dare let it get me

I love the ones I love

And if I stray, it's gonna hurt"

I was drinking beer with a close friend

When I saw you walking in the room

I thought, "Mercy me, I can't keep on running

You're gonna get me, ooh"

As wrong as this is, you touched me

Of course you had me hooked

And I as kissed your lips, I knew right then

I was gonna have to do it again

And I was singing, "Mercy

Mercy mama, don't dare let it get me

I love the ones I love

And if I stray, it's gonna hurt"

I was singing, "Mercy

Mercy mama, don't dare let it get me

I love the ones I love

And if I stray, it's gonna hurt"

I was sitting down with my sweetheart

Making out, I was sincere

I thought, "Mercy me, I can't keep on lying

I gotta get the air clear"

As long as you stay with me

Forget the whole affair

I promise you I'll be true

I'm never gonna do it again

And I was singing, "Mercy

Mercy mama, don't dare let it get me

I love the ones I love

And if I stray, it's gonna hurt"

I was singing, "Mercy

Mercy mama, don't dare let it get me

I love the ones I love

And if I stray, it's gonna hurt"

Singing, "Mercy

Mercy mama, don't dare let it get me

I love the ones I love

And if I stray, it's gonna hurt"

Singing, "Mercy

Mercy mama, don't dare let it get me

I love the ones I love

And if I stray, it's gonna hurt"
