[Chorus]
Have mercy

[Chorus]
Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy

[Chorus]

Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
[Bridge]

Yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
[Verse 3]

I'm going to work two jobs, seven days a week

That's right
[Chorus]
Have mercy, please
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
Yeah
Have mercy
Have mercy, baby
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
