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 ya
 
  
  Show me an open door
 
 Then 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?
 
 Would you please have mercy
 
 Mercy on my heart?
  
 
 I'd 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
 
 My pride is all I 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 on me
 
 I'm a puppet on your strings
 
 And even though you got good intentions
 
 I need you to set me free
  
 
 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
  
 
 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
  
 
 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 on me?
 
 I'm a puppet on your strings
 
 And even though you got good intentions
 
 I need you to set me free
  
 
 Would you please have mercy, (whoah-oh)
 
 Mercy on my heart?
 
 Would you please have mercy, (mercy, mercy)
 
 Mercy on my heart?
 
 On my heart
