lyrics

Honey I feel like I’m hanging on for dear life
My palms are raw and blistered and my knuckles are white
My body’s bloodied and bruised from being dragged around
‘Cause, honey, you must’ve pulled me one hundred times round this damn town

Baby, baby, won’t you have some mercy on me?
My heart’s being pulled apart at the seams
I don’t know how long I can hold on
To you stringin’ me along

You banged up my heart you shredded up my mind
I’m captive in my house waiting for you to ring that doorbell of mine
I’d rather have you say you never want to see me again
Than reap those seeds of false hope that you keep plantin’

Baby, baby, won’t you have some mercy on me?
My heart’s being pulled apart at the seams
I don’t know how long I can hold on
To you stringin’ me along

Sugar, if you just left me alone
I could learn to mend this broken heart all on my own

Your kisses make my cuts and bruises disappear
But once you’ve used up all my lovin there’s no need for you to stay here So I’m muddy and bloody and broken boned and soar
As you run across town to knock on some other lover’s door

Baby, baby, won’t you have some mercy on me?
My heart’s being pulled apart at the seams
I don’t know how long I can hold on
to you stringin’ me along
Oh, I don’t know how long I can hold on
to you stringin’ me along
