(In 4/4 time. 4 bar piano Intro)

 

You've got a hold of me

Don't even know your power.

I stand a hundred feet

But I fall when I'm around you.

​

Show me a open door

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.

You keep tearing me apart

Would you please have

...Mercy

...Mercy

...On my heart

...Mercy

...Mercy

...On my heart

​

I'd drive through the night

Just to be near you baby.

Heart old and testified

Tell me that I'm not crazy.

​

I'm not asking for a lot

Just that you're honest with me.

My pride is all I've got

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

Would you please have

...Mercy

...Mercy

...On my heart

...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.
