Mercy (MTV Unplugged) Lyrics
[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 ya
Show me an open door
And you go and slam it on me
And I can't take any more
[Chorus]
I'm saying
Baby, please have mercy on me
And take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
No, you keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
Would you please have mercy, mercy, yeah, on my heart?
[Verse 2]
I'd drive through the night
Just to be near you, baby (Say it)
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy
I'm not askin' for a lot
Just that you're honest with me
And my pride is all I got
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 ya
Show me an open door
And you go and slam it on me
And I can't take any more
[Chorus]
I'm saying
Baby, please have mercy on me
And take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
No, you keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?
Would you please have mercy, mercy, yeah, on my heart?
[Verse 2]
I'd drive through the night
Just to be near you, baby (Say it)
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy
I'm not askin' for a lot
Just that you're honest with me
And my pride is all I got
[Chorus]
So I'm saying
Baby, please have mercy on me
And take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
No, you keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me?
And I'm a puppet on your strings
And even though you got good intentions
No, I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy, yeah, on my heart?
Would you please have mercy, oh mercy yeah, on my heart?
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, please have mercy on me, yeah
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me, say it!
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me?
And I'm a puppet on your string
No, And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
I'm begging you for mercy, yeah, yeah
Would you please have mercy, yeah, mercy, oh
So I'm saying
Baby, please have mercy on me
And take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
No, you keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me?
And I'm a puppet on your strings
And even though you got good intentions
No, I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy, yeah, on my heart?
Would you please have mercy, oh mercy yeah, on my heart?
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, please have mercy on me, yeah
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me, say it!
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me?
And I'm a puppet on your string
No, And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
I'm begging you for mercy, yeah, yeah
Would you please have mercy, yeah, mercy, oh
