You got to make it on your own   You're so alone   You got to make it on your own   You're so alone      Mercy Lord, I beg You since   I have become a man   Won't You understand   I'm a sweet and loving man?      If you is so rude   In a mellow way   Then that's okay      If it's so bad lookin' for the steel   Then you know you got to feel   Then you know you got to feel   As I would rock it to you, baby      Mercy Lord, I beg You since   I have become a man   Won't You understand   I'm a sweet and loving man   I'm a sweet and loving man?      If it's life that you're loving   There ain't nothing more to do   If it's life that you're loving   There ain't nothing more to do      If there is a place for everyone in your art   Then you would never get a better start   If there is a place for everyone in your heart   Then you would never get a better start      Mercy you understand   I'm a sweet and loving man
