She was only sweet sixteen; teenage girl, teenage dream,
I thought I loved her so,
By the way she looked at me, I thought that love could be,
And she broke my heart, you know.

What do you cry when there's nothing left inside'
What do you cry when you gotta show things that you would rather hide'

Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy on me, oh.

Son of God, son of man, came to bring his father's plan,
I heard he loved me so,
From the words he spoke to me, I thought that love could be,
Then I broke his heart, you know.

What do you cry when there's nothing left inside'
What do you cry when you gotta show things that you would rather hide'

Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy on me, oh.

Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy on me, oh.

Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
Have mercy, mercy on me,
Mercy, mercy,
