Please have mercy on a young girl's heart You know it could be torn apart By her good looking, sweet talking man You got to save her if you can She thought she would settle with what she'd get Never believed in love before she met This sweet talking, handsome man Please save her if you can Is this love? Hey, is this love? Have mercy on a young girl's heart Have mercy on a young girl's heart The years went by and she won his heart Happily married and faithful by his side He was a hard working, lovable man Lord save him if you can Is this love? Hey, is this love? Have mercy on a young girl's heart Have mercy on a young girl's heart Is this love? Hey, is this love? Have mercy on a young girl's heart Have mercy on a young girl's heart One night the rain was pouring down, down, down She was waitin' for her man to get back from town As the hours went by the temperature dropped She wondered "where will it stop"? A knock was heard from the wooden front door "Ma'am, you may wanna sit down" She fell to the floor 'Cause she knew what the policeman would say She blamed God for taking him away It was love Yes, it was love No mercy for a young girl's heart
