Mama Mercy (Live)-Joan Armatrading

I was catching up with my baby When I saw you coming down the road I thought mercy mama Don't let him get me I got a happy life at home But as sure, as sure is you passed me Of course I had to look And as I turned my head I knew right then I was gonna have to do it again And I was singing Mercy, mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray it's gonna hurt I was drinking beer with a close friend When I saw you walking in the room, I thought Mercy me I can't keep a running You're gonna get me, oh As wrong as this is you touched me Of course you had me hooked And as I kissed your lips I knew right then I was gonna have to do it again And I was singing Mercy, mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray it's gonna hurt I was singing Mercy, mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray it's gonna hurt I was sitting down with my sweetheart Making out I was sincere I thought Mercy me I can't keep a lying I got to get the air clear As long as you stay with me Forget the whole affair I promise you I'll be true I'm never gonna do it again And I was singing Mercy, mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray it's gonna hurt I was singing Mercy, mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray it's gonna hurt Singing, mercy, mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray it's gonna hurt Singing, mercy, mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray it's gonna hurt
