Píseň: Mercy

Interpret:
Melissa Etheridge
Album:
Lucky
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
