Lyrics:

Have mercy on a poor boy's heart
'Cause I got the key that can make your motor start
Well, can't you love me without messin' me around
You took everything I got then kicked me when I'm down
Ooh, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you might not be mine
Don't lock me up, I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Have mercy on a poor boy's soul
I've been down so long, never thought I could feel so low
First you love me then you stab my back
You close the door, turn the key, all I can see is black
Ooh, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you might not be mine
Don't lock me up, I can't pay the fine
Oh, make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
So what's a poor boy supposed to do
I've done everything I can and I've been so true
You got a mean streak like an alley cat
You sucked all the love from me like a vampire bat
Ooh, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you might not be mine
Don't lock me up, I can't pay the fine
Oh, make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
