Have Mercy

[Verse 1] He made me feel so second-best I never should have let him do it But when he makes his pretty mess Somehow you just fall into it [Chorus] Have mercy on him The love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him The love that I saved for him is gone [Verse 2] He wasn't just another touch He was something I created And though I loved him much too much I never thought my love was wasted [Chorus] Have mercy on him The love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him The love that I saved for him is gone [Verse 3] How do you know who you should blame? You spend your love, or you conserve it It's hard to hear him curse my name At least I know I don't deserve it [Chorus] Have mercy on him The love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him The love that I saved for him is gone [Outro] The love that I had saved for him is gone
