Me and my girl got place to be, place to see
Y'all hear me
Guess you can say we're just doing things
That happiness and that will love bring
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
I used to walk the selfish way
But you end up alone, so hear what I say
Open the door, let love walk in
Got nothing to lose, maybe something to win
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
A shack near the tracks, a mansion uptown
No one said you're gonna get down
Rather be poor and have my honey
Than own the banks with all the money
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Y'all say you want someone to love
I said make yourself somebody
Somebody you wanna love
Have mercy on your loneliness, have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Y'all hear me
Guess you can say we're just doing things
That happiness and that will love bring
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
I used to walk the selfish way
But you end up alone, so hear what I say
Open the door, let love walk in
Got nothing to lose, maybe something to win
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
A shack near the tracks, a mansion uptown
No one said you're gonna get down
Rather be poor and have my honey
Than own the banks with all the money
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Y'all say you want someone to love
I said make yourself somebody
Somebody you wanna love
Have mercy on your loneliness, have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
Have mercy on the lonely
