    Mhm, mhm

    You've got a hold of me
    Don't even know your power
    I stand a hundred feet
    But I fall when I'm around ya

    Show me an open door
    Then you go and slam it on me
    I can't take anymore
    I'm saying, baby

    Please have mercy on me
    Take it easy on my heart
    Even though you don't mean to hurt me
    You keep tearing me apart
    Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
    Please have mercy, mercy on my heart

    Mhm, mhm

    I'd drive through the night
    Just to be near you, baby
    Heart open, testify
    Tell me that I'm not crazy

    I'm not asking for a lot
    Just that you're honest with me
    My pride is all I got
    I'm saying, baby

    Please have mercy on me
    Take it easy on my heart
    And even though you don't mean to hurt me
    You keep tearing me apart
    Would you please have mercy on me
    I'm a puppet on your strings
    And even though you got good intentions
    I need you to set me free
    Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
    Please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

    Consuming all the air inside my lungs
    Ripping all the skin from off my bones
    I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
    I would gladly do it twice
    Consuming all the air inside my lungs
    Ripping all the skin from off my bones
    I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
    I would gladly do it twice

    Oh, please have mercy on me
    Take it easy on my heart
    Even though you don't mean to hurt me
    You keep tearing me apart
    Would you please have mercy on me?
    I'm a puppet on your string
    And even though you got good intentions
    I need you to set me free

    I'm begging you for mercy, mercy on my heart
    Please have mercy, mercy on my heart
    Please have mercy, sing, mercy on my heart?
    Would you please have mercy, scream it, mercy on my heart?
    Have mercy, mercy on my heart?
    Would you please have mercy, no, mercy on my heart?
