sittin' on a time bomb (waitin' for the hurt to come)

Singer: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

you keep me waiting

anticipating

is the worst yet to come

baby

have a little mercy for me

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

have a little mercy for me

will you love me like you oughta?

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.
