Duffy ~ Mercy

I had never heard of Duffy until I watched her perform on SNL. I admit I didn't like this song at first but with Duffy's unique sound and that catchy beat its grown on me. It's hard to believe such an old soulful voice comes out of someone only in her twenties! "Mercy" is a hit single from Duffy's debut album Rockferry.

Mercy by Duffy lyrics

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah

I love you but I gotta stay true.
My morals got me on my knees
I'm begging please stop playing games.

I don't know what this is but you've got me good
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 wont you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy.
Why wont you release me?
I said release me.

Now you think that I will be something on the side
but you've 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've got me good
like you knew you would.
I don't know what you do but you do it well
I'm under your spell.

You've got me begging you for mercy.
Why wont you release me?
You've got me begging you for mercy.
Why wont you release me?
I said you'd 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 won't 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 wont you release me?

Mercy, beggin' you for mercy.
You've got me beggin'
Down on my knees
I said, you've got me beggin'
Beggin' you for mercy
You've got me beggin'
