about
Gospel track with dark abuse undertones. An uplifting vibe with underhand messages. The organ floats along giving a great swing to everything else
lyrics
If you try to insist
After she’s done everything to resist
Lord have mercy on your soul
And if you try but you fail
And things don't go your way
Oh well then Lord have mercy on your soul
If you were there in her arms
And abused your loving charms
Lord have mercy on your soul
And if in vein you express
Your feelings of unhappiness
Then Lord have mercy on your soul
Far be it for to say
That you must change your ways
But you've been lucky struck
For much too long
And if you think up ways
That you're gonna make her pay
Oh Lord have mercy on your soul
If you find it so hard
To accept her with all her faults
Lord have mercy on your soul
If you seek and you fail
And anger does prevail
Then Lord have mercy on your soul
Far be it for to say
That you must change your ways
But you've been lucky struck
For much too long
And if you think up ways
That you're gonna make her pay
Oh Lord have mercy on your soul
Far be it for to say
That you must change your ways
But you've been lucky struck
For much too long
And if you think up ways
That you're gonna make her pay
Oh well then Lord have mercy on your soul
Oh Lord have mercy on your soul
Lord have mercy on your soul
After she’s done everything to resist
Lord have mercy on your soul
And if you try but you fail
And things don't go your way
Oh well then Lord have mercy on your soul
If you were there in her arms
And abused your loving charms
Lord have mercy on your soul
And if in vein you express
Your feelings of unhappiness
Then Lord have mercy on your soul
Far be it for to say
That you must change your ways
But you've been lucky struck
For much too long
And if you think up ways
That you're gonna make her pay
Oh Lord have mercy on your soul
If you find it so hard
To accept her with all her faults
Lord have mercy on your soul
If you seek and you fail
And anger does prevail
Then Lord have mercy on your soul
Far be it for to say
That you must change your ways
But you've been lucky struck
For much too long
And if you think up ways
That you're gonna make her pay
Oh Lord have mercy on your soul
Far be it for to say
That you must change your ways
But you've been lucky struck
For much too long
And if you think up ways
That you're gonna make her pay
Oh well then Lord have mercy on your soul
Oh Lord have mercy on your soul
Lord have mercy on your soul
