Lyrics
Oh, my mama couldn't tell me 'bout the feeling I feel
At 9:49 on a Sunday morning, still
Gran's all dressed up, and she's headed to church
But I'm in bed tired from last night's work
So Lord please
Have mercy on me
And some ladies down the street telling people the news
But what they don't really know is that she haven't a clue
Round the way and up above some folks flying high
See sad smiles in their eyes, they ain't doing fine
Oh, Lord, please
Have mercy on me
Hey
Hey, can you see me
In those sad smiling eyes? (In those sad smiling eyes, yeah)
Can you see me
In those sad smiling eyes? (In those sad smiling eyes, yeah)
Mama, can you hear me
In those sad smiling eyes, yeah? (In those sad smiling eyes, yeah)
Oh, mama, can you hear me
In those sad smiling eyes, yeah? (In those sad smiling, yeah)
Let's go
Oh, my mama couldn't tell me 'bout the feeling I feel
But the love lets me know
Yeah, lets me know
So Lord, please, have mercy on me
So Lord, please, have mercy on me
Got to have mercy (got to have)
Got to, got to have mercy (got to, got to have mercy)
So Lord, please, yeah, have mercy on me, yeah
