MERCY
(Words & music by Rebecca Rufin, copyright 1999 by Rebecca Rufin)

VERSE 1:
I walk into the bar tonight,
My eyes meet yours and sparks ignite,
Another girl is in your arms,
But still you can't resist my charms.
You catch me by the dancing floor
And ask if we have met before,
And I say "No, but that's okay,
I'd like to meet you anyway."

CHORUS:
I want you to know
It's starting to show
I'm gettin' to ya!
Soon you'll be at my mercy.

VERSE 2:
The bar is closed, it's time to go,
Your girlfriend left you hours ago,
She took the car, it's cold outside,
You ask if you can hitch a ride.
I park my car outside your place,
You raise your hand and touch my face,
The silence speaks a thousand words,
And in your eyes a fire burns.

CHORUS:
I want you to know
It's starting to show
I'm gettin' to ya!
Soon you'll be at my mercy.

VERSE 3:
It's now or never, just one chance,
To love or let the moment pass,
You flash a hopeful timid smile,
And ask if I'd come in awhile.
We're in each other's arms at last,
The time for turning back is past,
The passion burns and sets us free,
To all-consuming ecstasy.

CHORUS:
I want you to know
It's starting to show
I'm gettin' to ya!
Soon you'll be at my mercy.

VERSE 4:
I watch the sunlight on your face
As I lie in your warm embrace,
The night fresh in your memory,
The tension now serenity.
I feel a tenderness that's new,
I realize all I want is you,
But are you feeling love's demand,
Or was this just a one-night stand?

NEW CHORUS:
I want you to know
It's starting to show
You've gotten to me!
Now I am at your mercy.
