"Act Of Mercy" lyrics - HELEN TERRY

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Uh-huh, mm-hmm
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

Put me out of my misery
Put this madness to an end
Tell me the truth
Make me see what a fool I've been
I need your rejection
Enough that feeds affection
I've been your plaything a-long enough
Please help me to give you up
Shock me to my senses, open my eyes
That's the only way I wanna survive
Hear me the truth and it treats like a knife
But one good thrust could save my life

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy on me
It would be an act of mercy
If you just set me free
Mercy, mercy, mercy, have mercy on me
It would be an act of mercy
If you just set me free

It's hopeless, I need a change of heart
But I can't find the strength to make me start
You could wake me from this nightmare I'm in
If you face reality so I can live again
Boy, put my love in check
Gimme back my self respect
Give me the push I need to know
This torture is killing me slow

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy on me
It would be an act of mercy
If you just set me free
Mercy, mercy, mercy, have mercy on me
It would be an act of mercy
If you just set me free

I know that you know
That you don't love me
But you keep me hanging on
I know that you know
This feeling is dead and gone
I know that you know
That you don't love me
But you keep me hanging on
No matter how I tried
I'm begging you down inside

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy on me
It would be an act of mercy
If you just set me free
Mercy, mercy, mercy, have mercy on me
It would be an act of mercy
If you just set me free

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy on me
It would be an act of mercy
If you just set me free
Mercy, mercy, mercy, have mercy on me
It would be an act of mercy
If you just set me free
