Do you love me or do you hate

it's only when you wud looka t me that way (out of mind)

i've been hanging round here for much too long (here on my own)

when i feel that tremble deep inside

i know my troubles just begun



i met your mercy

when you turned me on

i try to think twice about the bad times

oh i try to think twice about the bad times



empty handed was my middle name

yet i feel a littl righteous just the same (i heard the news)

who knew i'd be traded in for a better bunch (a better bunch)

when you left me standin' with so much to lose

oh baby, what's a man to do?



i met your mercy

when you turned me on

i try to think twice about the bad times

oh i try to think twice about the bad times



repeat chorus
