Mama Mercy Lyrics - Show Some Emotion - Joan Armatrading

I was catching up with my baby 

When I saw you coming down the road 

I thought 

Mama Mercy 

Don't let him get me 

I got a happy life at home 

But as sure as sure is 

you passed me 

Of course I had to look 

and as I turned my head 

I knew right then 

I was gonna have to do it again

And I was singing 

Mercy 

Mercy mama 

Don't you dare let it get me 

I love the one I love 

And if I stray 

It's gonna hurt 

I was drinking beer with a close friend 

When I saw you walking in the room 

I thought 

Mercy me 

I can't keep a running 

You're gonna get me, oooh 

As wrong as this is 

You touched me 

Of course you had me hooked 

And as I kissed your lips 

I knew right then 

I was gonna have to do it again

And I was singing 

Mercy 

Mercy mama 

Don't you dare let it get me 

I love the one I love 

And if I stray 

It's gonna hurt 

I was sitting down with my sweetheart 

Making out I was sincere 

I thought 

Mercy me 

I can't keep a lying 

I got to get the air clear 

as long as you stay with me 

Forget the whole affair 

I promise you 

I'll be true 

I'm never gonna do it again 

And I was singing 

Mercy 

Mercy mama 

Don't you dare let it get me 

I love the one I love 

And if I stray 

It's gonna hurt
