Well I was
Standing in line
At the city bus stop
Soaked to the skin
From every rain drop
Could see you
Drivin' by just like
A phantom Jet
With your arm around
Some little brunette
You say you won't
Be home 'cause
You're working late
Honey I'm no fool
You've been out
On a date
Lipstick on your collar
Gives your game away
It's strawberry red
And mine's pink rose
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad
I'm in misery
It's breakin' 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
Somethin' wrong
There's only
One reason you play
Cheatin' songs
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad
I'm in misery
It's breakin' my heart
Can't you see
Baby baby
Have mercy on me
Well I went
To the bank with
My little checkbook
The cashier
He gave me
The strangest look
Said ''You ain't got
No money 'cause
You're overdrawn
Your man took it all
And he's a-done gone
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad
I'm in misery
It's breakin' my heart
Can't you see
Baby baby
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad
I'm in misery
It's breakin' my heart
Can't you see
Baby baby
Have mercy on me
