Mercy (Live From Montreal)

You've got a hold on me, don't even know your power

And I stand a hundred feet but I fall when I'm around ya

Show me an open door and you go and slam it on me

I can't take anymore, I'm saying

Baby, please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart

Even though you don't mean to hurt me

No, you keep tearing me apart

Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

Please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

As I drive through the night 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

So saying, scream–

Take it easy on my heart

Even though you don't mean to hurt me

No, you keep tearing me apart

Won't you please have–

And I'm a puppet on your string

And even though you got good intentions

No, I need you to set me free

I'm begging you to have mercy, mercy on my heart?

Won't you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

Consuming all the air inside my lungs

Ripping all the skin from off my bones

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

I would gladly do it twice

Consuming all the air inside my lungs

Ripping all the skin from off my bones

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

I would gladly do it twice

Please have mercy on me, sing–

Take it easy on my heart

And even though you don't mean to hurt me

No, you keep tearing me apart

Won't you please have mercy on me, sing–

I'm a puppet on your string

And even though you got good intentions

I need you to set me free

I'm begging you, sing–

Mercy, mercy on my heart

I'm begging you for mercy, mercy on my heart

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

Please have, tell me would you please have mercy on me, yeah

On my heart, yeah
