| After 12 years of marriage she did a number on my heart
|
| The world where I held her she tore that world apart
|
| And now I live out on the road
|
| I’m making one-night stands
|
| Darling, please have mercy
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Who hadn’t loved in way too long
|
| Look into my eyes
|
| I can’t face this night alone
|
| This weight on my heart
|
| Make it stop for just one night
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Baby just turn out the light
|
| Well I know that you don’t know me
|
| Well enough to ever make this right
|
| And I know that you don’t owe me
|
| But it might be enough to save my life
|
| So lay down with me tonight
|
| And let’s make love if you can
|
| Darling, please have mercy
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Who hadn’t loved in way too long
|
| Look into my eyes
|
| I can’t face this night alone
|
| This weight on my heart
|
| Make it stop for just one night
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Baby just turn out the light
|
| Let’s not think about tomorrow
|
| Tomorrow seems like it’s a world away
|
| Girl tonight when you hold me
|
| Let the world slip away
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Who hadn’t loved in way too long
|
| Look into my eyes
|
| I can’t face this night alone
|
| This weight on my heart
|
| Make it stop for just one night
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Baby just turn out the light
|
| Have mercy on a man
|
| Baby just turn out the light |
