Lyrics

Mercy

[Verse 1]

You got the look in your eyes

I know I fucked up one too many times

When I was on my selfish shit

I thought no matter what I did you'd stay with me

I never in a million years imagined

You would really walk away from me

[Chorus]

I need mercy, I'm begging you please

You know I can't sleep without you (Ooh)

So tell me it's all a bad dream

'Cause I just can't be without you (Ooh)

I'm the perfect fool

I was blind, baby please I need

Mercy, I'm down on my knees

You know I can't see without you (Ooh)

[Verse 2]

No, babe, I never were easy to love (Love, love)

I'm a sweet mess with permanent sunglasses on (On, on)

And I know

I know I've been so selfish, shit

I thought no matter what I did, you'd stay with me (Stay)

Oh, baby I'm terrified of growing up

Admitting and committing

Oh, but please don't, please don't go

[Chorus]

I need mercy, I'm begging you please

You know I can't sleep without you (Ooh)

So, tell me it's all a bad dream

'Cause I just can't be without you (Ooh)

I'm the perfect fool

I was blind, baby please I need

Mercy, I'm down on my knees

You know I can't see without you (Ooh)

[Bridge]

I got out of control

I know I should have listened to you

Listened to you long ago

I'm paranoid of hope

I guess I thought I wanted to be on my own

But hell no, hell no

So, stay with me

So, stay with me

[Chorus]

I swear I need mercy, I'm begging you please

You know I can't sleep without you (Ooh)

So, tell me it's all a bad dream

'Cause I just can't be without you (Ooh)

I'm the perfect fool

I was blind, baby please I need

Mercy, I'm down on my knees

You know I can't see without you (Ooh)

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

Ooh

Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

MØ: "I felt like I needed to try to do it by the book, but actually, I'm the one who's writing the book"

From dance-pop Wunderkind to the soon-to-be queen of electronica, MØ beckons in a freer, easier, and even more impressive era with her brand new single 'Who Said'.
