Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,

I need help I'm falling again.

Play the drum a little louder,

Tell me I can live without her

If I only listen to the band.

Listen to the band!

Weren't they good, they made me happy.

I think I can make it alone.

Oh, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,

I need help I'm falling again.

Play the drum a little bit louder,

Tell them they can live without her

If they only listen to the band.

Listen to the band!

Now weren't they good, they made me happy.

I think I can make it alone.

Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens,

I need help I'm falling again.

C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder,

Tell us we can live without her

Now that we have listened to the band.

[instrumental, fade, & comeback]

Listen to the band!
