Lyrics
FINISH ME OFF
You?ve been trying to be sweet
Full of tea and sympathy
Have mercy finish me off
Don?t be guilty, don?t feel sad
Don?t be afraid that I?ll be mad
Have mercy finish me off
I think I would prefer
You take my heart with one clean jerk
Than cut it carefully away so it doesn?t hurt
Like your old dog you put to sleep
Save me from my misery
Have mercy finish me off
Talking our affair to death
Analyzing every step
Have mercy finish me off
Come on baby don?t be mean
Close the curtain on this scene
Have mercy finish me off
Take one last look
It?s OK you?re off the hook
No one could ever say you didn?t do it by the book
Say goodbye and wish me well
?Cause seeing you again is hell
Have mercy finish me off
