Somebody have mercy and
tell me what is wrong with me (2x)
Sometimes I don´t know how I stand
the things this woman do to me
Let me tell you
When I think about how she do me,
the tears fall down like rain, like rain (2x)
When I think I´ve got her chained down,
she starts actin´ up again

Oh, let me tell you
I´m going down to the bus station
with a suitcase in my hand, yes I am (2x)
I´m gonna grab me an armful of greyhound
and ride just as close I can
do that thing for me know

Let me tell you one more time
Somebody have mercy,
I wonder what is wrong with me (2x)
Lord have mercy
Sometimes I don´t know how I stand
the things this woman do to me

Do that one more time, my fellas
I´m standing here wondering baby
with a matchbox hole in my clothes
Standing wondering baby,
with a matchbox hole in my clothes
Oh I got a long way to get there
and I got-a some time to go
