| Life has been tough recently | 
| Feels like your heartbeat’s in retreat | 
| You try to break the curse | 
| But it only makes it worse | 
| You look to the skies and you cry | 
| Somebody have mercy on me | 
| Somebody have mercy on me | 
| I’m lost, I can’t see | 
| Somebody have mercy on me | 
| (Who you are is who you are) | 
| (Who you are is who you are) | 
| (Who you are is who you are) | 
| (Who you are is who you are) | 
| You go to the priest and he turns you away | 
| You go to the doctor and he tells you to pray | 
| Is this a dream of the world at its worst? | 
| You step outside and you cry | 
| Somebody have mercy on me, ooh | 
| Somebody have mercy on me | 
| I’m lost, I can’t see | 
| Somebody have mercy on me, ooh | 
| Somebody have mercy on me | 
| Straight up to dinner | 
| And you’re on the phone again | 
| Waiting for the car to pull up outside | 
| Inside your head | 
| There is a strange voice singing | 
| You feel as if it’s been there all your life | 
| But you hear it for the first time tonight | 
| Somebody have mercy on me, ooh | 
| Somebody have mercy on me | 
| Yeah, I’m lost, I can’t see | 
| Somebody have mercy on me, ooh | 
| You go to the priest but he turns you away | 
| You say — Somebody have mercy on me | 
| Yeah and you go to the doctor but he | 
| Tells you to pray, you say | 
| Somebody have mercy on me | 
| Ooooh | 
| Somebody have mercy on me |
