Love Have Mercy Songtext
von Otis Redding

Love have mercy, yeah, on my soul
How many kisses, y′all, have I stole?
From other girls, they didn't belong to me
That′s why the payback is just misery, yeah

Love have mercy, y'all, Lord
Love have mercy on me now
Love have mercy, y'all, on my heart
For this young girl is just tearing it apart
It′s got me weak, oh don′t ever let me go
'Cause, I couldn′t stand to reap, what I've sown now

Love have mercy, y′all, huh
Love have mercy on me, yeah

This feeling, Lord, is killing me
All the things, I did wasn't right
And now, I′m just sittin' like a duck
Sittin' here on that dynamite, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh wee, now, Lord, somebody help me
Comin′ loose y′all


Love have mercy, yeah, on this man
All the wrong I did, now I understand
I broke a lot of hearts, before I got to her
And now this suffering, just like, like they were, tell me about it

Love have mercy, yeah, ooh
Love have mercy on poor me, ha

Love have mercy
Yeah, got to tell you about it
You got me sufferin'
Lord, just like they were

Don′t make me suffer
Don't make me, love have mercy on me
Don′t make me suffer, no, no, no, no, no, no

Love have mercy, mercy, mercy
Love have mercy, mercy, mercy
Love have mercy on me
No don't do it to me

You got me doin′ the things, I don't wanna do
Y'all in, you got me suffering, just like the girls were
Na-na, sorry about that
Sorry about that
Sorry about that, baby
Sorry about that, sorry about that, sorry, what I did to you baby-
