Have Mercy

Have mercy on me, denied myself the treatment I need
And it's more than just lovin', I need to learn to love myself
Have pity on me, declared myself a grown man at 23
But I was just a baby, on my mama's bended knee

When I fall behind, then I can see
That you keep coming back for me
I need you to have pity, have mercy

Now, I've spent several days in bed
Feeling sorry for this life I've led
But I am learning to accept that instead
I'm surrounded by folks that love me

Have patience with me, I mean well, but that don't mean
That I have not hurt you in my silence and my greed

When I fall behind, then I can see
That you keep coming back for me
Have patience, have pity, have mercy

When I fall behind, then I can see
That you keep coming back for me
Have patience, have pity, have mercy
