Mercy
Seductive Pleasures: Unraveling the Allure of 'Mercy' by Ohio Express
Lyrics
I love you mercy, mercy.
Expressing affection and pleading for mercy
Oh, you know, you're such a beautiful thing.
Complimenting the person's beauty
You're laying kisses on me girl
Receiving affectionate gestures like kisses
All you know all the pleasure it brings,
Enjoying the pleasure brought by the person
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Vocalization, possibly emphasizing emotions or sensations
You're spending all my money,
Person spending the singer's money
And you're making me crawl up the wall.
Making the singer feel emotionally vulnerable or distressed
Mercy, mercy
Repeated plea for mercy due to distress or discomfort
You're doing me without any mercy at all,
Feeling used or taken advantage of without compassion
And I'm calling you:
Attempting to communicate with the person
Have mercy, mercy have mercy on me.
Continuing to ask for mercy or leniency
Have mercy, mercy, mercy on me.
Repeated pleas for mercy
A man's supposed to be stronger
Expectation of strength as a man
And is used to getting his way, ah,
Used to having control or getting what is wanted
But mercy girl you got my number,
Acknowledging the person's power over the singer
And I'll do any thing that you say.
Willingness to comply with the person's desires
But stop playing with me.
Request to stop toying with the singer's emotions
Have mercy, mercy have mercy on me.
Continued plea for mercy
Have mercy, mercy, mercy on me.
Repeated pleas for mercy
