[verse 1]
in my eyes she can do no wrong
in her mind i'm a little child
she's the words in my favorite song
but to her i am juvenile
[verse 2]
i'm the love she will never love
i'm the friend that she calls a friend
and if i'm not the careful crush
i'll be one heart, one man and then
[chorus]
mercy mercy have on me
leave me broken but leave me be
distance hurts a thousand miles
so stay where you are for a little while
and mercy mercy sing my song
lyrics always felt so wrong
sell my soul to change the rhyme
make you wanting and make you mine
[verse 3]
in her mind i'm a troubled soul
i've pretended and played it cool
there's a place where i don't belong
and myself i have made a fool
[chorus] 
mercy mercy have on me
leave me broken but leave me be
distance hurts a thousand miles
so stay where you are for a little while
and mercy mercy sing my song
lyrics always felt so wrong
sell my soul to change the rhyme
make you wanting and make you mine
[chorus] 
mercy mercy have on me
leave me broken but leave me be
distance hurts a thousand miles
so stay where you are for a little while
and mercy mercy sing my song
lyrics always felt so wrong
sell my soul to change the rhyme
make you wanting and make you mine
