[Verse 1]
I love you
But I gotta stay true
Your morals got me on my knees
I'm begging, please
Stop playing games

[Pre-Chorus]
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 woman
Who can take my hand, 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'd better release me
Oh

[Bridge]
I'm begging you for mercy yes
Why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging for mercy


[Chorus]
Oh why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging for mercy
Oh
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
So why won't you release me?
Oh oh
[Outro]
Break it down
Beggin down on my knees
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Begging down on my knees
Down on my knees oh
Mercy
