Mercy (MTV Unplugged)

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






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?






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






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?






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






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
