Lyrics At The Mercy Of A Man - Remastered 2022 - Bettye LaVette

Do you know how it feels
At the mercy of a man?
To be hooked on love
Don't you understand?

Just to feel his touch
Oh, oh, it's too much
It's getting better all the time
I'm about to lose my mind

Hey, yeah, it's strong out
Oh, I can't get enough
If he treats me bad tonight
I know tomorrow is gonna be alright, hey, hey, hey, hey
Strong out over a man

His love never fails
To satisfy me
I'm just a slave
I don't even wanna be free
You know love is a hard thing
Y'all better believe

But this good man's love
Sure made a woman out of me
I'm telling you, I'm strong out
It's all clean up, I can't get enough

If the man treats me bad tonight
I know tomorrow is gonna be alright
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I sure love a man
Got to have his love
They get nothing, nothing in this world
He's never gonna stay right
I love the man, I love the man
He's got everything I need, oh yeah
