Mercy

Well, I get lonely
Lonely inside
Gotta hold on to somethin'
Make sure things ain't too bad
Scared of dyin'
Not fit to begin
Stop my shakin', baby
Makes me too weak to give

Mercy on me, Lord
Spare me from my guilty thoughts
Tell me I don't kill nobody
Even those I ought
But why do I think
Why do I think it's all my fault
If I leave my baby now
Or she takes another man?

Lonely inside
