Mercy don't think she's pretty no more,
Starin at the stars through a backscreen door,
She tries and tries to make it all work out,
No matter what she does,
She's left standin in the middle of doubt,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
You can count on me,

Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weaps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
It just tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, I wonder why,

Mercy don't have a lover no more,
Plays with her pillow,
Stares at the bedroom floor,
Used to have a million,
They've come and gone,
No matter what she does,
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin rain, you can count on me

Sometimes she cries,
In the middle of the night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,

Ooh, yeah,
Livin', lovin', given everything you've got,
After all the heartache,
Maybe give it all just one more shot yeah,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
The only thing I really wanna know is why,

Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weaps,
Ohh, when she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries.....
