Mercenary

He's crying inside, can't tear the hurt out
Life's rushing by like an old movie backdrop
The radio's blasting song after song
About the big romance that went all wrong

She says, "I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you"
He says, "Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be such a mercenary?"

She's scheming inside, can't stop the wheels turning
Been through it before, there's no profit or learning
She's not really bad, just a gold-plated heart
So scared to be alone, it rips her apart

She says, "I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you"
He says, "Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be such a mercenary?"

She says, "I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you"
He says, "Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be that way?"

I just wanted to make you
I never meant to break you
He says, "Have some mercy on me
Do you have to be such a mercenary?"
