i remember when the time i met you
living with your people down in new orleans
mad at your mama cause she´d never let you
ride in our nasty limousine
later on the levee with the moon up above
i lost my heart and confessed my love
oh lucy, god have mercy
i´ve got to stop thinkin´ ´bout that
oh no no lucy said god have mercy
i´ve got to stop thinking bout you

one summer night in a field of wheat
god´s sweet lanterns hanging in the sky
moving light on your tiny feet
i knew i had to love you till the day i die
they talk about amazing grace
it meant something when i saw your face
oh lucy, god have mercy
i´ve got to stop thinkin´ ´bout that
i said ohh lucy, god have mercy
i´ve got to stop thinkin bout you

i think of all the little things that i never told you
i think i may get to hold you someday
it´s my brain just like a man possessed
i can´t do me no work, i can´t get me no rest
oh it does me no damn good

don´t like to think about the way it ended
i hate remembering the things that i said
i dream a dream of love so splendid
i wake up hard in an empty bed
i wonder who´ll be loving you next
some fool who´s writing bad checks
oh now lucy, god have mercy
i´ve got to stop thinkin´ ´bout you
oh no no lucy said god have mercy
i´ve got to stop thinking bout you
