Joan Armatrading - Mama Mercy lyrics

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
