Lyrics Otis Redding

Otis Redding

Love Have Mercy

Love have mercy, yeah, on my soul

How many kisses, y'all, have I stole

From other girls they didn't belong to me

That's why the payback is just misery, yeah

Love have mercy, y'all, Lord

Love have mercy on me now

Love have mercy, y'all, on my heart

For this young girl is just tearing it apart

It's got me weak, oh don't ever let me go

'Cause I couldn't stand to reap what I've sown now

Love have mercy, y'all, huh

Love have mercy on me, yeah

This feeling, Lord, is killing me

All the things I did wasn't right

And now I'm just sittin' like a duck

Sittin' here on that dynamite, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh wee, now, lord, somebody help me

Comin' loose y'all

Love have mercy, yeah, on this man

All the wrong I did, now I understand

I broke a lot of hearts before I got to her

And now this suffering just like they were, tell me 'bout it

Love have mercy, yeah, ooh

Love have mercy on poor me, ha

Love have mercy

Yeah, got to tell you about it

You got me sufferin'

Lord, just like they were

Don't make me suffer

Don't make me, love have mercy on me

Don't make me suffer, no no no no no no

Love have mercy, mercy, mercy

Love have mercy, mercy, mercy

Love have mercy on me

No don't do it to me

You got me doin' the things I don't wan' do

You got me suff'rin' just like the girls were

Sorry 'bout that

Sorry 'bout that
