The Judds - Have Mercy lyrics

rate me

I was standing in line at the city bus stop

Soaked to the skin from ev'ry rain drop

I see you driving by just like a phantom jet

With your arm around some little brunette

You say you won't be home because you're working late

Honey, I'm no fool, you've been out on a date

The lipstick on your collar gives the game away

It's strawberry red and mine's pink rose

(Chorus)

Have mercy on me

You treat me so bad I'm in misery

It's breaking my heart, can't you see

Baby, baby have mercy on me

Well I called you up on the telephone

I could hear you was playin' Haggard and Jones

I knew right then that there was something wrong

There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs

(Repeat Chorus)

Went to the bank with my little check book

The cashier he gave me the strangest look

He said you ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn

Your man took it all and he's done gone

(Repeat Chorus)
