Oh, my Mama couldn't tell me 'bout the feeling I feel
At nine forty nine on a Sunday mornin' still
Gran's all dressed up and she's headed to church
But I'm in bed tired from last night's work

So Lord please have mercy on me

And some lady's down the street tellin' people the news
But what they don't really know is that she haven't a clue
'Round the way and up above, some folks flyin' high
See sad smiles in their eyes, they ain't doin' fine

So Lord please, have mercy on mе

Hey can you see me in those sad smiling еyes
(In those sad smiling eyes, yeah)
Can you see me in those sad smiling eyes
(In those sad smiling eyes, yeah)
Mama can you hear me in those sad smiling eyes
(In those sad smiling eyes, yeah)
Oh Mama, can you hear me, in those sad smiling eyes, yeah
(In those sad smiling eyes, yeah)
Let's go
Oh, my Mama couldn't tell me 'bout the feeling I feel
But the love let's me know
Yeah let's me know

So Lord please, have mercy on me
So Lord please, have mercy on me

Got to have mercy (Got to have)
Got to, got to have mercy (Got to, got to have mercy)
So Lord please, yeah, have mercy on me
