Last August - Love Have Mercy Lyrics

I was born to be a poor man begging on lonely streets
Until you found me and your love had mercy on me

Some men are lucky and some are blessed
I must have it both ways because I got it best
My baby she's so good to me
I was a captive before love set me free

I was born to be a poor man begging on lonely streets
Until you found me and your love had mercy on me
I was nothing but a joker You were made to be my queen
I'll stand right by you girl Cuz your love had mercy on me

My sense of direction might need some correction
I keep spinning head over feet
Because my baby's love drives me crazy
Can't you see what she does for me?

I was born to be a poor man begging on lonely streets
Until you found me and your love had mercy on me
Searched the streets of New York city to the hills of Tennessee
Until you found me and your love had mercy on me

You give me love sweet love
You give me love

Have mercy baby
Have mercy on me
