I'm not the man I used to be
I'm not the fool you think you see
Not the one I was before
You closed your heart and shut the door

Have mercy, mercy on me
I want it how it used to be
Have pity, pity on me
I will be here on bended knee

You've always been the only one
I'm sorry for the things I've done
So I stand before you now
A better man if you'll allow

Have mercy, mercy on me
I want it how it used to be
Have pity, pity on me
I'll be here on bended knee

So have compassion for the one who cares
I need you know. Will you be there?
If you'll take me back, I will dedicate my life to you
I swear, oh yeah, I swear

Have mercy, mercy on me
I want it how it used to be
Have pity, pity on me
I will be here on bended knee

Have mercy, mercy on me
I want it how it used to be
Have pity, pity on me
I will be here on bended knee

I'm begging for mercy, please
