Jerry Lawson - I'm Just a Mortal Man lyrics

[Intro] Oh Lord Lord have mercy Well [Verse] I was just thinking to myself this morning (What were you thinking?) You know just as helpless I really am, help me Lord My hair is turning grey I get a new wrinkle every day I guess I am just a mortal man Let me tell you all about my trouble I cannot make myself live forever (Never live forever) God knows I tried I can't even make one flower grow It takes water for that Ho [?] Lord knows I tried But that hands on the clock keep ticcking on by One day you're young, the next your old Well now listen to this Oh I thought I was such a super lover Did the best I could And from ym side darling I thought you would never, never go away One day you messed around and you ran away Now this ego of mine has been betrayed As I stared at empty walls, I found I was no super lover at all Well, you see love dealt me a bad bad [?] And left him with a scar on this mortal man I'm gonna get on back to my story I don't know if I'll ever go to heaven You never know, even I, even I might get to go Oh Lord, I'll tell you If there's away that I can go I'll leave this human skin all down below Say goodbye to my world of being a mortal man But in the mean time I'm still down here doing the best I can Lord I'm shamed,shamed, shamed of being a mortal man Oh can you hear me Lord I'm shamed,shamed, shamed of being a mortal man Oh Lord I'm shamed,shamed, shamed of being a mortal man
