| You’ve got a hold on 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
 | 
| And 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?
 | 
| Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
 | 
| 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
 | 
| And my pride, is all I got
 | 
| 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 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?
 | 
| Would you 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
 | 
| I’m begging you, begging you, please, baby
 | 
| I’m begging you for mercy, mercy
 | 
| Ooh, I’m begging you, I’m begging you |
