It seems life has played a game on me
I'm lost in a sea of misery
My love has turned her back on me
Heartaches, why won't you let me be?

I said now, baby, have some mercy please
Don't leave me, baby, on bended knee
Oh please, mercy, mercy, mercy please
Have mercy on me
Mercy, mercy, mercy please

How can I face life without you
What would I do if we were through?

Don't you know, love
I wait for you every single night
Hoping you'll return and make things right
You don't show and I'm sitting here all alone
To pray you're gonna call me on the phone

Baby, have some mercy please
Don't leave me, baby, on bended knee
Oh please, mercy, mercy, mercy please
Have mercy on me
Mercy, mercy, mercy please

You know I love you and I'm begging
For one more chance, one chance, once more

I know life's got many a twist
Loving you, baby, is a thing I can't resist
Your love and understanding you've been giving me
Without it, I just can't go on living

Baby, have some mercy please
Don't leave me, baby, on bended knee
Oh please, mercy, mercy, mercy please
Have mercy on me
Mercy, mercy, mercy please
Have mercy on me..
