Mercy Mercy Me / I Want You Lyrics

Artist: Robert Palmer
Album: Don't Explain

Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind
That blows from the north, west, south and east
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
What about this over-crowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
I want you
The right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Said I want you to love me
Just like I want you
Oh, I'll give you all the love
You want in return sweet darlin'
Your happiness is all I crave
Ooh, it's too bad - it's just too sad
You don't want me now
But I'm gonna change
Your mind someway, somehow, baby
I want you
The right way
I want you
But I want you to want me too
Said I want you to love me
Just like I want you
A one way love is just fantasy
Oh, sugar
To share is precious pure and fair, ooh
Don't play with something
You should cherish for your life, baby
Don't you want to care?
Lonely?
I'm there

That brings me memories of my father. He passed away and that's the only beatiful memory I remember driving in his car in Santo Domingo listening+ to that beatiful song.

Well it is 3/16/2011 and isn't this a reality with what is going on in our world. All these years later man is dying still due to stupidity. Maybe solar energy is not that bad, oh, am I bad, big oil companies...excuse me Exxon.

I agree, but really. I don't get the whole song.... I mean i do, but i don't can someone explain to me what these lyrics mean! "Why did the blue skies go?" "oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas" , also "Ah, thingd ain't going right oh no,"

This is a medley of 2 songs.
The first being Merci Merci Me and it talks about how men (us humans) are destroying the planet with polution, excess population, etc.
The second is just a love song about wanting someone who doesnt want you anymore.
