Lyrics
[verse]
Every time you walk into the room I lose my train of thought
Every single thing I planned to say just goes and comes to naught
You've got some kind of power over every word I speak
Turning me from steady into someone weak
[verse]
I've been the one in control my whole life through
But something happens to my footing when it comes to you
I try to play it cool but you can see it in my eyes
I'm caught up in a current I can't fight or compromise
[chorus]
Have mercy on me, have mercy tonight
I'm falling harder every time you're in my sight
I never begged for anything before
But I'm on my knees, girl, begging for more
Have mercy on me, don't let me drown
You're the only one who's turning my whole world around
[verse]
I used to think that love was something I could take my time
Now every second waiting feels like wasting precious time
You've got me speaking in a language I don't understand
Just give me mercy, give me your hand
[chorus]
Have mercy on me, have mercy tonight
I'm falling harder every time you're in my sight
I never begged for anything before
But I'm on my knees, girl, begging for more
Have mercy on me, don't let me drown
You're the only one who's turning my whole world around
[bridge]
Mercy, mercy, that's all I need
Mercy, mercy, plant the seed
Mercy, mercy, let me in
Mercy, mercy, let the story begin
[chorus]
Have mercy on me, have mercy tonight
I'm falling harder every time you're in my sight
I never begged for anything before
But I'm on my knees, girl, begging for more
