| All your bitterness and lies |
| Sting like tears in my eyes |
| And a thousand lovesick tunes |
| Won’t wash away the wounds from my mind |
| You’ve been seen around, you’re a news sensation |
| You got a better deal and you took his invitation |
| You’ve been sitting on his lap and taking his dictation |
| Mercy, we used to love all day and drive all night |
| Mercy, jealousy used to whet your appetite |
| Mercy, we were low as dogs and high as kites |
| Why must I plead with you darling |
| For what’s already mine |
| My friends are indiscreet |
| And I sing myself to sleep |
| And I don’t mind the red wine |
| Or the pickup line as long as it’s cheap |
| I ask you what 's wrong, and you say I’m all yours |
| I ask who your friend is, and you say Santa Clause |
| I ask you to come home, you say yoU’re tired of being indoors |
| Mercy, you know you signed on that dotted line |
| Mercy, you signed yours and I signed mine |
| Mercy, you said forever till the end of time |
| Why must I plead with you darling |
| For what’s already mine |
