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'm begging please stop playing games

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

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
Why won't you release me yeah yeah
Break it down

Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Down on my knees

Begging you for mercy
You got me begging

Overall Meaning

The song Mercy by Duffy feat The Game talks about a tumultuous relationship that leaves Duffy feeling trapped and desperate for escape. The repetitive chorus features Duffy practically pleading with her lover to let her go, as she is questioning the legitimacy of their connection. The opening lyrics establish Duffy's emotional dilemma - on one hand, she loves her partner, but on the other, her morals demand that she demands respect and honesty in their relationship. She feels as though she is being toyed with, hence her request to stop playing games. Duffy then confesses that she is under her partner's spell and he has her hooked, regardless of the games he's playing.


The verse moves along the same concept as Duffy realizes that she needs an honest and respectful partner who will have her back. She's willing to let go of her current fling to find the partner she deserves. The lyrics express a sense of vulnerability, confusion, and desperation, leaving the listener with a pained image of Duffy.
