[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Well, it's a shame when you got nobody
And it's a drag when you got no friends
But it's a worse when you get no mercy
And you're startin' all over again

[Chorus 1]
And back in my own world
Nobody bugs me
But down on the shop floor
They show me no mercy

[Verse 2]
I've been down to the railway station
I've been over to the taxi stand
I've been standing in the lobby of the Hyatt Hotel
But I've never seen a helpin' hand

[Chorus 2]
I'm lookin' for someone
Not out to get me
I'm keepin' my guard up
Expectin' no mercy
[Verse 3]
No mercy, no pity
(There's no mercy for me)
No sympathy
No mercy, no pity
(There's no mercy for me)
No sympathy
They say it's just like a gentle rainfall
But it ain't never rained on me

[Chorus 3]
And back in my own world
(Back in my own little world)
Nobody bugs me
(No one can bother me)
But down on the shop floor
(On the shop floor)
They show me no mercy
(There's no mercy)

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]
They say it's just like a gentle rainfall
But it ain't never rained on me
[Chorus 3]
And back in my own world
Nobody bugs me
But down on the shop floor
They show me no mercy

[Outro]
No mercy, no pity
(There's no mercy for me)
No sympathy
No mercy, no pity
(There's no mercy for me)
No sympathy
No mercy, no pity
(There's no mercy for me)
No sympathy
No mercy, no pity
(There's no mercy for me)
No sympathy
