I never ever thought I'd live to see the day
That I'd be running after a man this way
Baby, you don't know the effect you have on me
You've got my mind all twisted and I can't wriggle free

Have a little mercy on me, baby
Show a little mercy
Ease off, baby, just a little bit

Baby, whenever you're out of my sight
All I do is pace the floor
My nerves are never settled
Until you walk through my door
At night when I'm laying in bed
All I do is toss and turn
And if you don't lighten up on me
My life will be ruined

Have a little mercy on me, baby
Show a little mercy
Ooh, baby, just a little bit
Show me some mercy

Now you've got me falling on my knees
And eating right out of your hand
I'm right here to fulfil your desire and every command

Now what more could you ask for
When you've got a fool like me?
I'm getting what I deserve
'Cause I'm where I want to be

Have a little mercy on me, baby
Show me some mercy
Just a little bit
Show me some mercy
Mercy
Show me some mercy, baby
Have a little mercy on me, baby
I need your mercy
I'm beggin' you for mercy
Mercy, baby
I'm beggin' you for mercy
