Melissa Etheridge - Mercy lyrics

Well I have lived ten years plus ten

And ten and ten again

I have seen too much to pretend

Then you wanted to come in

I have survived all of the lies

They made me wise

The locks and walls and the peace is buys

Still when I look into your eyes

It's a suprise when you say

It's gonna be all right

It's gonna be okay

Just hold on tight

Let it all go away

Oh mercy, mercy baby

What do you want from me

Well I plead mercy, mercy baby

I do not know what this all means

It's been awhile since I been stylin'

In just my jacket and my jeans

It hurts to walk, it hurts to talk

It hurts to think about it

Shout about it

Could I be sure without a doubt

That you could never live without me

I want to fall in you, crawl in you

Surrender all in you now

Could I be sure in you, pure in you

Finding the cure in you

Now I plead have mercy on me

Now I am kneeling at the alter

In the temple of your eyes

And I am asking for a miracle

I have been too long paralyzed

When you say get up and stand up

And climb the rope of hope

And open up again

Oh the peace you say is promised me

Seems too much to comprehend
