MERCY MERCY ME / I WANT YOU - Robert Palmer

Robert Palmer 

In Memoriam
(1949 - 2003) 

 Oh, oh mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be

No, no

Where did all the blue skies go?

Poison is the wind

That blows from the north, west, south and east

Oh, oh mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be

No, no

Oil wasted on the oceans and our seas 

Fish full of mercury

Oh, oh mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be

No, no

Radiation underground and in the sky

Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

Oh, oh mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be

No, no

What about this over-crowded land

How much more abuse from man can she stand?

I want you

The right way

I want you

But I want you to want me too

Said I want you to love me

Just like I want you

Oh, I'll give you all the love 

You want in return sweet darlin'

Your happiness is all I crave

Ooh, it's too bad - it's just too sad

You don't want me now

But I'm gonna change

Your mind someway, somehow, baby

I want you

The right way

I want you

But I want you to want me too

Said I want you to love me

Just like I want you

A one way love is just fantasy

Oh, sugar

To share is precious pure and fair, ooh

Don't play with something 

You should cherish for your life, baby

Don't you want to care?

Lonely?

I'm there
