[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
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said release me

[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
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?

[Bridge]
I'm begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging

[Outro]
Mercy, why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said release me
