Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Mercy

Dear boy!

He talks just like a naval

He looks just like a dream

He hired a helicopter, just so he can follow me

Well, he's tormenting and beautiful, fine as a legacy

He's an earth shaker, a movie maker

He looks so good

He ain't as bad as he can be

Have mercy child

Have mercy on me

You know that you can't lose with the stuff in you

So, baby, please have mercy on me, babe

Ba-yeah-woah and he's the man, yes he is

He feels he's something special

He can do just fine

He knows he's got potential

He's poison and the antidote

He's a psychedelic magic

That even we've been trying to please

And he just reads my mind in havoc

You know you get me weak in my knees

Oh baby, please have mercy child

Have mercy on me

You know you gotta be wild, but you do it with style

So, baby, please have mercy

Have mercy child

Oh baby, baby, have mercy on me

You know that you can't lose with the stuff in you

So, baby, please have mercy on me

Yeah, and I'm his woman

Mm-hmm, that's for damn

Ooh yeah!

Mercy, yeah!

He's a psychedelic magic, that even we've been trying to please

And he just takes my mind in havoc

He know' he gets me weak, weak in the knees

Have mercy child!

Have mercy on me

You know that you can't lose with the stuff in you

So, baby, please have mercy on me

Have mercy child!

Have mercy on me

You know you have to be wild, but you do it with style

So, baby, please have mercy on me

Have mercy child!

Have mercy on me (you're to be ashamed of yourself)

You gotta be wild, but you do it with style

So, baby, please have mercy on me

(Lighten up brotha)
