Mercenary

[Verse 1]

He's crying inside, can't tear the hurt out

Life's rushing by like an old movie backdrop

The radio's blasting song after song

About the big romance that went all wrong

[Chorus]

She says, "I just wanted to make you

I never meant to break you"

He says, "Have some mercy on me

Do you have to be such a mercenary?"

[Verse 2]

She's scheming inside

Can't stop the wheels turning

Been through it before

There's no profit or learning

She's not really bad, just a gold-plated heart

So scared to be alone, it rips her apart

[Chorus]

She says, "I just wanted to make you

I never meant to break you"

He says, "Have some mercy on me

Do you have to be such a mercenary?"

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

She says, "I just wanted to make you

I never meant to break you"

He says, "Have some mercy on me

Do you have to be that way?"

I just wanted to make you

I never meant to break you

He says, "Have some mercy on me

Do you have to be such a mercenary?"
