Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mercy
Why you gotta show up lookin' so good just to hurt me
Why you wanna stop this whole damn world from turning?
Mercy
Why you hangin' on so tight if this ain't workin'?
Why you wanna stop this flame if it's still burnin'?
'Cause it's still burnin'
[Chorus]
So, if you're gonna break my heart, just break it
And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it
Take it
If you made up your mind, then make it
Make this fast
If you ever loved me
[Verse 2]
Have mercy
If you go out tonight and get drunk and lonely
Wind up home alone, please, don't call me
Don't say you miss me, no
[Chorus]
If you're gonna break my heart, just break it
And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it
Take it
If you made up your mind, then make it
Make this fast
If you ever loved me
Have mercy
[Bridge]
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Have mercy
[Chorus]
If you're gonna break my heart, just break it
And if you're gonna take your shot, take it
Take it
[Chorus]
Oh, if you're gonna break my heart, just break it
And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it
Take it
If you made up your mind, then make it
Make this fast
If you ever loved me
Mmm, if you ever loved me
Have mercy
[Outro]
Oh, have mercy
Oh, have mercy
Have mercy
