I’m Just a Mortal Man Lyrics by Jerry Lawson

Just A Mortal Man

2015

[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
