[Intro: Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out

[Verse 1: Kamau Burton & Ben Stevens, Kamau Burton]
I see that girl and she play me a fool
By my tie, drag me high to some fabulous views
She's my ride, lost my mind, tryin' to walk in these shoes
All my life, and she's no good for me, sugar, whoa-oh-oh

[Chorus: Ben Stevens, Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out

[Verse 2: Christian Rose, Ben Stevens, Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
Yeah, yeah
Baby, give me cravings
And baby got me shaking
Said, "No, I'm not addicted, but don't ever keep me waiting" (Ooh)
Baby, got me spending all this dough I could be saving (Yeah)
'Cause she tastes like maple butter 'nilla cinnamon amazing (Hey)
All my life, I want to get the green but she take
All my love, she be feeding me the cheesecake
Oh, my heart is burning when you're close to me babe (Hey, hey)
You and me and something sweet gon' have a little three-way
[Chorus: Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton, Ben Stevens]
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out (Oh-ooh-oh)
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey (Oh-oh, oh)
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out (No, I cannot, oh-oh, yeah)

[Bridge: Christian Rose & Kamau Burton, Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton]
She said, "Darlin', take all the time you want
I wanna taste your sugar
Pass that my way, no, I ain't had enough
I wanna taste your sugar"
She said, "Darlin', take all the time you want
I wanna taste your sugar
Pass that my way, no, I ain't had enough
I wanna taste your sugar"

[Chorus: Ben Stevens, Christian Rose & Kamau Burton, Kamau Burton, Ben Stevens]
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey (Can't get by)
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out (Oh, no, I cannot)
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey (Can't get by)
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out (Oh, yeah)
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey (Can't get by)
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out (I wanna taste your sugar)
I cannot get, I cannot get by without you, honey (I cannot get by)
Mercy, mercy, I can't get out
