[Verse 1]

I love you

But I gotta stay true

My moral's got me on my knees

I'm begging, please

Stop playing games

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 hands, yes, I do

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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?

[Bridge]

I'm begging you for mercy

You got me begging

You got me begging

You got me begging

[Outro]

Mercy, why won't you release me?

You got me begging you for mercy

Why won't you release me?

I said release me
