Melissa Etheridge Mercy
Well I have lived ten years plus ten
And ten and ten again
I have seen too much to pretend
And then you wanted to come in
I have survived all of the lies
They made me wise
The locks and walls and the peace it buys
Still when I look into your eyes
It's a surprise when you say
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
What do you want from me
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've 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
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
Mercy baby
What do you want from me
Mercy, mercy, mercy baby
What do you want from me
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
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 altar
In the temple of your eyes
And I am asking for a miracle
I have been too long paralyzed when you say
Get up
Stand up
Climb the rope of hope
and open up again
All the peace you say is promised me
seems too much to comprehend
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Just hold on tight
let it all go away
Mercy baby
What do you want from me
Mercy, mercy baby
what Can this girl believe
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be okay
Honey just hold on tight
And I'll make it all go away
Hold on
It's gonna be alright
Mercy darling
Mercy
Let it all go away
