Your pillow don't get wet when I go to bed and weep Your eyes don't turn red when I don't get my sleep Your world don't fall apart when my phone don't ring You say you feel for me but you don't feel a thing
Mercy, have mercy on me Mercy, have mercy on me A little bit of understanding and a little bit of sympathy And a little bit of mercy on me (Eu eu eu, eu eu eu)
You don't like the clothes I wear and you don't like my friends You don't like my job or the town we're livin' in You don't like my mama and you don't like my dog I bet if the truth was known you don't like this song
Mercy, have mercy on me Mercy, have mercy on me A little bit of understanding and a little bit of sympathy And a little bit of mercy on me (Eu eu eu, eu eu eu)
