Knock on Wood
Mercy Mercy Mercy
Watermelon Man
Knock on Wood
I don't wanna lose this good thing
That I've got but if I do
I will surely
Will surely lose the lot
I suppose it's better
To give it up I know
Just like thunder lightning
The way your love is striking
I'd better knock on wood, baby.
I'm not superstitious about you
But I can't take no chance
You got me spinnin' baby
But baby, I'm in a trance
'Cos your love is better
Than any love I know
Just like thunder lightning
The way your love is striking
I better knock on wood, baby.
Mercy Mercy Mercy
It seems life has played a game on me
I'm lost in a sea of misery
My love has turned its back on me
Heartache, why don't you let me be?
Baby have some mercy please don't make me beg on bended knee, Oh please
Mercy mercy mercy please
Have mercy on me
Mercy mercy mercy please.
How can I face life without you?
What would I do if we were through?
I wait for you ev'ry single night
Hoping you'll return and make things right
You don't show and I'm left alone
To pray you'll call me on the phone
Baby have some mercy please don't make me beg on bended knee, Oh please
Mercy mercy mercy please
Have mercy on me
Mercy mercy mercy please.
How can I face life without you?
What would I do if we were through?
Watermelon Man
Hey____________ Watermelon man.
Hey____________ Watermelon man.
Bring me one that rattles when you lug it.
One that's red and juicy when you plug it.
Do you understand? Watermelon man.
Hey____________ Watermelon man.
Hey____________ Watermelon man.
Hot and bothered, need a little cooling.
When I hear you call, I start to drooling.
Do you understand? Watermelon man.
