You've got a hold of me I'm a puppet on your strings

Don't even know your power And even though you got good intentions

I stand a hundred feet I need you to set me free

But I fall when I'm around ya Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

Show me an open door Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

Then you go and slam it on me Consuming all the air inside my lungs

I can't take anymore Ripping all the skin from off my bones

I'm saying, baby I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

Please have mercy on me I would gladly do it twice

Take it easy on my heart Consuming all the air inside my lungs

Even though you don't mean to hurt me Ripping all the skin from off my bones

You keep tearing me apart I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart? I would gladly do it twice

Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart? Oh, please have mercy on me

I'd drive through the night Take it easy on my heart

Just to be near you, baby Even though you don't mean to hurt me

Heart open, testify You keep tearing me apart

Tell me that I'm not crazy Would you please have mercy on me?

I'm not asking for a lot I'm a puppet on your string


Just that you're honest with me And even though you got good intentions
My pride is all I got I need you to set me free
I'm saying, baby
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
Please have mercy on me I'm begging you, begging you, please, baby
Take it easy on my heart I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
Even though you don't mean to hurt me Ooh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, yeah
You keep tearing me apart

Would you please have mercy on me


For all the times that you rained on my parade And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back

And all the clubs you get in using my name Maybe you should know that

You think you broke my heart, oh, girl, for goodness' sake My mama don't like you and she likes everyone

You think I'm crying on my own, well, I ain't And I never like to admit that I was wrong

And I didn't wanna write a song And I've been so caught up in my job

'Cause I didn't want anyone thinkin' I still care, I don't, but Didn't see what's going on, but now I know

You still hit my phone up I'm better sleeping on my own

And baby, I'll be movin' on 'Cause if you like the way you look that much

And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself

Maybe you should know that And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone You should go and love yourself

And I never like to admit that I was wrong For all the times that you made me feel small

And I've been so caught up in my job I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all

Didn't see what's going on, but now I know I never felt so low and I was vulnerable

I'm better sleeping on my own Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?

'Cause if you like the way you look that much 'Cause if you like the way you look that much

Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself

And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin' And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'

You should go and love yourself You should go and love yourself

But when you told me that you hated my friends 'Cause if you like the way you look that much

The only problem was with you and not them Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself (yeah)

And every time you told me my opinion was wrong And if you think (you think) that I'm (that I'm)

And tried to make me forget where I came from Still holdin' on to somethin' (holdin' on, no)

And I didn't wanna write a song You should go and love yourself

'Cause I didn't want anyone thinkin' I still care, I don't, but

You still hit my phone up

And baby, I'll be movin' on
