| Mercy don’t think she’s pretty no more
|
| Starin' at the stars through her back screen door
|
| She tries and tries to make it all work out
|
| No matter what she does
|
| She’s left standin' in the middle of doubt
|
| In a lonely night
|
| And in the pourin' rain
|
| You can count on me
|
| Sometimes she cries
|
| When she’s alone at night
|
| Sometimes she weeps
|
| When she’s feelin' cold and weak
|
| Sometimes the pain
|
| It just tears her up inside
|
| Sometimes she cries
|
| Ooh, I wonder why
|
| Mercy don’t have a lover no more
|
| Plays with her pillow
|
| Stares at the bedroom floor
|
| Used to have a million
|
| They’ve come and gone
|
| No matter what she does
|
| She can’t figure out what she’s doin' wrong
|
| In a lonely night
|
| And in the pourin' rain
|
| You can count on me
|
| Sometimes she cries
|
| When she’s alone at night
|
| Sometimes she weeps
|
| When she’s feelin' cold and weak
|
| Sometimes the pain
|
| Oh, it tears her up inside
|
| Sometimes she cries
|
| Ooh, yeah
|
| Livin', lovin', givin' everything you’ve got
|
| After all the heartache
|
| Maybe give love just one more shot, yeah
|
| In a lonely night
|
| And in the pourin' rain
|
| The only thing I really wanna know is why
|
| Sometimes she cries
|
| When she’s alone at night
|
| Sometimes she weeps
|
| Oh, when she’s feelin' cold and weak
|
| Sometimes the pain
|
| Oh, it tears her up inside
|
| Sometimes she cries
|
| Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Yeah, yeah |
