[Verse 1]
It seems life has played a game on me
I'm lost in a sea of misery
My love has turned his back on me
Honey, won't you let me be?

[Chorus]
Baby, have some mercy
Please, don't make me beg on bended knees
Please, have mercy on me

[Post-Chorus]
How can I face life without you?
What would I do if we were through?

[Verse 2]
I wait for you every single night
Hoping that you'll return and make things right
You don't show and I'm left all alone
I pray that you call me on the phone

[Chorus]
Baby, have some mercy
Please, don't make me beg on bended knees
Oh please, have mercy on me
[Post-Chorus]
How can I face life without you?
What would I do if we were through?

[Verse 3]
I know life has many a twist
Loving you is the thing I can't resist
That love and understandin' you've been givin'
Without it, I just can't go on livin'

[Chorus]
Baby, have some mercy
Please, don't make me beg on bended knees
Oh please, have mercy on me

[Outro]
Have mercy
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
On me
Please, have mercy on me
