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
