Have Mercy
Have mercy, I do it once
and it's okay if I am sorry
I assure thee there will be tears
none of them mine, you need not worry
I never had much of a lot to start with
All of my life I've been so damn cold hearted
She loves me and the winds blow
If just to ease the pressure
Admittedly it's not alright
As it is wrong in equal measure
Some y'loose n' some y'win
Still it doesn't really change anything
Put all virtue in a ball n' throw it down
T'was no virtue at all if it doesn't bounce
Have mercy
Jungle rules will keep a woman's mind
occupied, they call it common sense
Come the final hour and you find
her unprotected innocence
I never said that I will but I just might
Take a little pill if it will help me sleep at night
I work all day and rest at night
At least I try to make it look that way
Money will not make you happy
But then happy is not all I say
Catch your breath and stay in step man
Like there's no end to what you do n' can
Some I lose but I won't keep from trying
Little boys take the ball and run home crying
Have mercy
