At the Mercy of the Man Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Do you know how it feels
At the mercy of a man
To be hooked on love?
Don′t you understand?

Just to feel his touch
Oh, oh, it's too much
It′s getting better all the time
I'm 'bout to lose my mind

Hey, yeah, it′s strong out
Whoa-oh, I can′t get enough
If it treats me bad tonight
I know tomorrow it's gonna be alright
Hey, hey, hey, hey, strong out over a man


His love never fails
To satisfy me
I′m just a slave
I don't even wanna be free

You know love is a hard thing
Y′all better believe
But this good man's love
Sure, make a woman out of me

I′m telling you I'm strong out
It's all clean up, I can′t get enough
If the man treats me bad tonight
I know tomorrow it′s gonna be alright

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I sure love a man
Got to have his love
They're gonna get nothing in this world
He′s never gonna stay right
I love the man, I love the man
He's got everything I need, oh yeah
