Mercy
(ft. Duffy) Lyrics

I love you but I gotta stay true
I care about you, but I can't betray my own principles and values

My moral's got me on my knees
My conscience is troubling me and making me feel guilty

I'm begging please, Stop playing games
I'm asking for honesty and sincerity instead of manipulation and deception

I don't know what this is but you got me good
I'm not sure what kind of influence or power you have, but it's very strong and effective

Just like you knew you would
It seems like you planned or expected to have this effect on me

I don't know what you do but you do it well
I can't explain how you have such an impact, but it's undeniable and impressive

I'm under your spell
I feel like I'm enchanted or hypnotized by you

You got me begging you for mercy
Your control or influence over me is so strong that I'm pleading for mercy

Why won't you release me?
Why won't you let me be free from this emotional bondage or imprisonment?

Now you think that I will be something on the side
You seem to believe that I'm only interested in a casual or temporary relationship

But you got to understand that I need a man
You have to realize that I'm looking for a serious and committed partner

Who can take my hand, yes I do
Someone who can support me and be there for me when I need them

I'm begging you for mercy
I'm desperately asking for compassion and kindness

I said you better release me
I'm warning you that keeping me trapped or restrained will only lead to more pain and frustration

I'm begging you for mercy, just why won't you release me?
I'm repeating my request and expressing my confusion and anguish

You got me begging down on my knees
I'm showing how much I'm willing to humble myself and suffer to gain my freedom

You got me begging, begging you for mercy
I'm emphasizing how much power you have over me and how much I need your help
