Have Mercy On A Man

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
