Somebody have mercy and
tell me what is wrong with me [x2]
Sometimes I don't know how I stand
the things this woman do to me
Let me tell you
When I think about how she do me,
the tears fall down like rain, like rain [x2]
When I think I've got her chained down,
she starts actin' up again
Oh, let me tell you
I'm going down to the bus station
with a suitcase in my hand, yes I am [x2]
I'm gonna grab me an armful of greyhound
and ride just as close I can
do that thing for me know
Let me tell you one more time
Somebody have mercy,
I wonder what is wrong with me [x2]
Lord have mercy
Sometimes I don't know how I stand
the things this woman do to me
Do that one more time, my fellas
I'm standing here wondering baby
with a matchbox hole in my clothes
Standing wondering baby,
with a matchbox hole in my clothes
Oh I got a long way to get there
and I got-a some time to go
