I went to work this mo'nin' My foreman looked me in the eye He said, "Fella I don't know what's wrong with ya, But you look sick enough to die"
He sent me to the company doctor And he examined from head to toe "Whatever's wrong with ya, young man, My x-rays just won't show"
I say, angel of mercy Won't you please look down on me? Angel of mercy A little mercy is all I need
The finance company They just don't receive my check They say they want a payment by Friday Or they want all-a the furniture back
I went to the credit union To try to get myself a loan They said, "I would let ya have it young man, But we hear that you won't be workin' here much longer
Angel of mercy Won't you please look down on me? Oh, angel of mercy A little mercy is all I need
Lord have mercy! Oh angel! Oh!
Oh!
Cut my lights off this mo'nin' They set my furniture out doors I was listenin' to the weatherman 'while ago An' he's says it's gonna rain an'snow
My daughter's got pneumonia An' my son is down with the flu My whole family's sufferin' from malnutrition And I can't even 'fford them soup
I say, angel of mercy Won't you please look down on me? Oh, angel of mercy A little mercy is all I need
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
If you got a woman that's cold 9 times outta 10 she can't be stole If you got a woman that's hot as fire you can wave your woman bye-bye If she's hot she knows she's hot then you can't please her with what you got.
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
If you gotta woman that's hard to get 9 times outta 10 the lil girl'll stick If you gotta woman that talks to every man that hits When you get home she might done split
If she listens to them long enough you can wave bye-bye to your good good stuff
(Cuz) Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman (I say) Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
If you gotta woman that don't like to laugh and grin Aw buddy she'll stay with you until the end But if you gotta woman that likes to flirt You can call your family doctor buddy cuz you bout to get hurt If you got a woman that can't count her fingers and toes It's no telling how many men have seen exposed
Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman Cold women with warm hearts is my kind of woman
