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 You go and slam it on me And 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? Would 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 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 Please have mercy, mercy on my heart Would you please have mercy, mercy, on my heart?
