"Mercy" lyrics
(originally by Duffy)
(from "The Hating Game" soundtrack)
(Ooh ooh ooh yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah ah ah ah)
Yeah, I love you
But I gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I'm begging, please
Stop playing games
I don't know what this is, but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do, but you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said, release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand that I need a man
Who can take my hand, yes I do
I don't know what this is, but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do, but you do it well
I'm under your spell
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said, you better release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I'm begging you for mercy)
You look at me and think we're the same kind
'Cause you don't know what I got on my mind
(Yes, why won't you to release me)
I wanna get more than I'm asking for
But I just don't wanna waste my time
(I'm begging you for mercy)
You think I'll be the other girl
Just like there's nothing in this world
(You got me begging)
I wanna have fun go get me some
I just don't know where you're coming from
(You got me begging)
(You got me begging!)
Mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said, you better release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You got me begging you for mercy (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why won't you release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I said, you better release me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You better release me
I said, you better release me
You better release me
I said, you better release me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
