Mercy

 

[Intro]

Hit the beat and take it to the verse now

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

[Verse 1]

I love you

But I gotta stay true

My moral's got me on my knees

I'm begging, please

Stop playing games

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't know what this is, but you got me good

Just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do, but you do it well

I'm under your spell

 

[Chorus]

You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I said release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

 

[Verse 2]

Now you think that I

Will be something on the side

But you got to understand that I need a man

Who can take my hands, yes, I do

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't know what this is, but you got me good

Just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do, but you do it well

I'm under your spell

 

[Chorus]

You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I said you'd better release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, yeah, break it down

 

[Bridge]

I'm begging you for mercy

(You look at me and think we're the same kind

'Cause you don't know what I got and)

Just why won't you release me?

(I'm gonna get more than I'm asking for

But I just don't want to waste my time)

I'm begging you for mercy

(You know that I'll be the other girl

Just like there's nothing in this world)

You got me begging

(I know that I'm gonna get me some)

(I just don't know where to get it from)

You got me begging

You got me begging

 

[Outro]

Mercy, why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

You got me begging you for mercy, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm begging you for mercy (Mercy, mercy, show me some mercy)

I'm begging you for mercy (Mercy, mercy, show me some mercy)

I'm begging you for mercy (Mercy, mercy, show me some mercy)

I'm begging you for mercy (Show me some mercy, show me some mercy)

Why won't you release me?

Yeah, yeah, break it down

Mercy, show me some mercy

You got me begging

Begging you for mercy

You got me begging

Down on my knees, I beg

You got me begging

Begging you for mercy

You got me begging
