I want the world to know (I want the world to know)<br />
Yeah! (yeah!) yeah! (yeah!) yeah! (yeah!)<br />
That I (you!), that I (you!), that iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! (aaaaaaaaaaah, you!)<br />
I confeh-heh-hess.<br />
<br />
Mercy, mercy baby! I done you wrong.<br />
Had my share of wine, women and song, want you back here in my arms,<br />
My days are empty without you baby, wasted time turns into years,<br />
My pillow is soakin' wet baby, with all my cryin' tears.<br />
<br />
Built a home in detroit, cattle in texas,<br />
Way up in the san francisco bay,<br />
I got apartments in new orleans, skyscrapers in new york,<br />
But if you're honest baby, you sound lonely, and I'm alone.<br />
