Now you think that I will be something on the side



Congratulations today to the lovely Duffy, winner of the "Song of the Year" award at the Mojos.

Aptly described by the magazine's editor as "a timeless song - it could really have come from any period in time over the last 50 years," Mercy has indeed been one of those songs (like Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head and Scissor Sisters' Comfortably Numb) that once you hear it, seems to follow you around for ever.

A perfect excuse to play it just once more, methinks...


I love you
But I gotta stay true
My moral's 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
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
I said you better release me

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
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
I said you better release me

I'm begging you for mercy
Just why won't you release me
I'm begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging

Mercy
Why won't you release me
I'm begging you for mercy
Why wont you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
Bring it on
