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
