Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, hey, mercy, woman

Plays a song and no one listens

I need help, I'm falling again

Yeah, play the drum a little bit louder

Tell me I can live without her

If I only listen to the band

Listen to the band

[Verse 2]

Whoa, weren't they good?

They made me happy

I think I can make it alone

[Verse 3]

Whoa, mercy, woman

Plays a song and no one listens

I need help, I'm falling again

Yeah, play the drum a little bit louder

Tell me I can live without her

If I only listen to the band

Listen to the band

[Verse 4]

Whoa, weren't they good?

They made me happy

I think I can make it alone

[Verse 5]

Yeah, mercy, woman

Plays a song and no one listens

I need help, I'm falling again

Yeah, play the drum a little bit louder

Tell me I can live without her

Now that I have listened to the band

Play it

[Verse 6]

Oh, weren't they good?

They made me happy

I think I can make it alone

[Verse 7]

Whoa, mercy, woman

Plays a song and nobody listenin'

I need help, I'm falling again

Yeah, play the drum a little louder, Johnny

Tell me I can live without her

Now that I have listened to the band

My, my
