[Verse 1]
You've got a hold on me
Don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I'm around you
Show me an open door
And you go and slam it on me
I can't take anymore

[Chorus]
I'm saying
Baby, please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

[Verse 2]
I'd walk through the day
Just to be near you, baby
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy
I'm not asking for a lot
Just that you're honest with me
And my pride is all I got
I'm saying
[Chorus]
Baby, please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Won't you please have mercy on me?
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

[Bridge]
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Feeling all the hurt inside my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice

[Chorus]
Oh, please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Won't you please have mercy on me?
I'm a puppet on your strings
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy on my heart
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy on my heart
