Lyrics

(Hit the beat and take it to the verse now)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

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 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, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm begging you for mercy
(You look at me and think we're the same kind
'Cos you don't know what I got and)
Just why won't you release me?
(I want a bit more than I'm asking for
But I just don't want to waste my time)
I'm begging you for mercy
(You think that I'll be the other girl
Just like there's nothing in this world)
You got me begging
(I know that I'm gonna get me some)
You got me begging
(I just don't know where to get it from)
You got me begging

Mercy,
Why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy, yeah

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?
Break it down

Mercy
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Down on my knees
I said mercy
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Ooh
