Living on Mercy
I don't eat right anymore
I don't sleep like I did before
All I do is walk the floor
And think about you
I think this desire is killing me
But you keep on thrilling me
Just like a slow sweet poison
I'm addicted to
More dead than alive
But somehow I still survive
I must be living on mercy
Must be living on mercy
Your love nearly killed me
A thousand times
I was in good shape, I was on my feet
Now it's too late, I'm in too deep
Your love is like a quicksand
That won't let go
Too weak to fight, too done to quit
Too much in love, gotta flow with it
You can't kill a fever
That's got a hold of your soul
More dead than alive
But somehow I still survive
I must be living on mercy
Got to be living on mercy
'Cause your love nearly killed me
A thousand times
Have mercy on me
Don't ever set me free
It's good and it's bad
But it's the best love I've ever had
I must be living on mercy
Must be living on mercy
I got to be living on mercy
Mercy, mercy me
Living on mercy
Living on mercy
Living on mercy
God's mercy, uh-huh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Your love nearly killed me
A thousand times
And I'm still breathing
Thank God
Living through it
Living on mercy
Living on mercy
Every breath I take
Have mercy
Living on mercy
Don't ever set me free
Just keep handing out that good mercy
Yeah, yeah
I don't sleep like I did before
All I do is walk the floor
And think about you
I think this desire is killing me
But you keep on thrilling me
Just like a slow sweet poison
I'm addicted to
More dead than alive
But somehow I still survive
I must be living on mercy
Must be living on mercy
Your love nearly killed me
A thousand times
I was in good shape, I was on my feet
Now it's too late, I'm in too deep
Your love is like a quicksand
That won't let go
Too weak to fight, too done to quit
Too much in love, gotta flow with it
You can't kill a fever
That's got a hold of your soul
More dead than alive
But somehow I still survive
I must be living on mercy
Got to be living on mercy
'Cause your love nearly killed me
A thousand times
Have mercy on me
Don't ever set me free
It's good and it's bad
But it's the best love I've ever had
I must be living on mercy
Must be living on mercy
I got to be living on mercy
Mercy, mercy me
Living on mercy
Living on mercy
Living on mercy
God's mercy, uh-huh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Your love nearly killed me
A thousand times
And I'm still breathing
Thank God
Living through it
Living on mercy
Living on mercy
Every breath I take
Have mercy
Living on mercy
Don't ever set me free
Just keep handing out that good mercy
Yeah, yeah
