Mercy
Duffy Lyrics
(Hit the beat and take it to the verse now)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I love you
But I gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I don't know what this is
But you've 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
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
I said release me
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 hand, yes I do
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
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
I said you'd better release me
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm begging you for mercy
Just why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging
Mercy
Why won't you release me
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy yeah
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me yeah yeah
Break it down
Mercy
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Down on my knees
I said
You got me begging
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging

Duffy told the Daily Mail that this retro-soul song, "is about the way my heart rate increases whenever I leave Wales to go to London." (Source Mercy Songfacts).
In Feb 2008 'Mercy' stormed to the top spot of the UK charts on download sales alone. This isn't the first taste of success for Welsh songstress Duffy, in 2003 she was runner up in Wawffactor (the Welsh alternative to Pop Idol) and in 2004 she was guest vocalist on electro duo Mint Royale's 3rd album.

This song has a bitter aftertaste now, I doubt Duffy will sing it ever again.
I am sickened and sad to hear a crime like this could happen to even a singer like that. But I guess statistically this had to happen more than once. I hope she will be able to sing and find love again.
Duffy, you are in my heart I admire you for your talent and I would be happy to see you sometime in the future at a concert.
Thank you and I hope God blesses you.

@TOTEP Certainly my text is real merit. Your - isn't. Goodnight.

This song has such a 60's vibe. . . . (And here's wishing healing for Duffy after what she's been through)

Probably because it samples Stand By Me by Ben E. King
