Sittin’ On A Time Bomb (Waitin’ On The Hurt To Come) - Honey Cone

Mercy

Have a little mercy for me

Trapped in a feeling, hooked on a soulful love

Baby, I’m weak for ya

I’m a victim of your moody love

Sometimes I know you really love me

Then again, I wonder if you do

To make, to make you mine completely

Just yesterday, you said we were through

Loving you is like sittin' on a time bomb

Waitin' for the hurt to come, oh

Loving you is like sittin' on a time bomb

Waitin' for the hurt to come, oh yeah

Bewildered, yes I’ll live

You keep me so confused

It’s like holding a stick of dynamite

Watching the burning fuse (It's like a time bomb)

You keep me waiting (Keep me waiting), anticipating (Anticipating)

Is the worst yet to come (Am I the only one?)

Baby, have a little mercy for me (Mercy)

I’m chained to your love, how can I run

Loving you is like sittin' on a time bomb

Waitin' for the hurt to come, oh

Don’t you know it’s like sittin' on a time bomb

Waitin' for the hurt to come, oh yeah, oh yeah

Ow!

Mercy (Mercy)

Have a little mercy for me (Have a little mercy for me)

Will you love me like you oughta?

(Ooh, ooh)

I get a feeling that the fuse is getting shorter

Loving you is like sittin' on a time bomb

Waitin' for the hurt to come, oh, I can’t help myself

I’m just sittin' on a time bomb waitin' for the hurt to come

I don’t want nobody else

I’m just sittin' on a time bomb waitin' for the hurt to come…
