Have mercy on a poor boy's heart

'Cause I got the key that can make your motor start

Well, can't you love me without messin' me around

You took everything I got then kicked me when I'm down Ooh, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level

I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil I heard through the vine that you might not be mine

Don't lock me up, I can't pay the fine

Make up your mind before you make me lose mine

Your love's got me doin' time Have mercy on a poor boy's soul

I've been down so long, never thought I could feel so low

First you love me then you stab my back

You close the door, turn the key, all I can see is black Ooh, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level

I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil I heard through the vine that you might not be mine

Don't lock me up, I can't pay the fine

Oh, make up your mind before you make me lose mine

Your love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time So what's a poor boy supposed to do

I've done everything I can and I've been so true

You got a mean streak like an alley cat

You sucked all the love from me like a vampire bat Ooh, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level

I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil I heard through the vine that you might not be mine

Don't lock me up, I can't pay the fine

Oh, make up your mind before you make me lose mine

Your love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time

Love's got me doin', love's got me doin' time Love's got me doin'
