[Verse 1]
I was Dstanding in line at the city bus Gstop
DSoaked to the skin from ev'ry rain Adrop
I Dsee you driving by just like a phantom Gjet
With your Darm around some Alittle bruDnette
[Verse 2]
You Dsay you won't be home because you're working Glate
DHoney, I'm no fool, you've been out on a Adate
The Dlipstick on your collar gives the game aGway
It's Dstrawberry red and mine's Apink roDse
[Chorus]
Have Dmercy on Gme
You tDreat me so bad I'm in miseAry
It's Dbreaking my heart, can't you Gsee
DBaby, baby have Amercy on Dme
[Instrumental]
(Repeat Riff)
[Verse 3]
Well I Dcalled you up on the teleGphone
I could hDear you was playin' Haggard and AJones
I Dknew right then that there was something Gwrong
There's Donly one reason you play Acheatin' Dsongs
[Chorus]
Have Dmercy on Gme
You tDreat me so bad I'm in miseAry
It's Dbreaking my heart, can't you Gsee
DBaby, baby have Amercy on Dme
[Instrumental]
(Repeat Riff)
[Verse 4]
DWent to the bank with my little check Gbook
The Dcashier he gave me the strangest Alook
He said you Dain't got no money 'cause you're over Gdrawn
Your Dman took it all and he'As done goDne
[Chorus]
Have Dmercy on Gme
You tDreat me so bad I'm in miseAry
It's Dbreaking my heart, can't you Gsee
DBaby, baby have Amercy on Dme
