Angels Have Mercy lyrics

Lyrics

Look in the mirror, and what do you see?
Reflections of a person that used to be
You're running 'round town, creating bad debts -
Let's face it, baby, your life is a mess
You're driving fast now, and speeding again -
That'll never help you ease the pain
There's nothing in a bottle you can take from the shelf
That'll bring you back to earth, 'cause you need help

The angels have mercy on you
But they can't stop you doing what you wanna do
May the angels have mercy on you -
I'm gonna help you pull through

Now you're headed down a one-way street -
Let the needle return
I've been there. who you meet?
Watch out, you're gonna get burned
You can't blame me for the mess you're in -
All your life you've been fooling yourself

I'll help you if I can -
You know I'll be there
Life's too sweet to show this lack of care

The angels have mercy on you
But they can't stop you doing what you wanna do
May the angels have mercy on you -
I'm gonna help you pull through

Take a look, a look at yourself. (three times)
As the angels have mercy on you!
