Talk of the Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My moral's got me on my knees
I'm begging please
Stop playing games
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
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 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
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?
You got me 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
The lyrics to Talk of the Town's song "Mercy" express a sense of desperation and longing in a romantic relationship. The singer is deeply in love with someone, but feels torn because their moral values are keeping them from fully committing. They acknowledge that they are being played, yet they cannot resist the allure of this person. The repetitive plea for mercy and release suggests the singer's desire for freedom from the emotional hold this individual has on them. The lyrics also touch upon the fear of being seen as just a side attraction and the need for a partner who can provide support and companionship.
