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
