He made me feel so second-best I never should have let him do it But when he makes his pretty mess Somehow you just fall into it *** chorus: Have mercy on him The love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him The love that I saved for him is gone *** verse 2: He wasnt just another touch He was something I created And though I loved him much too much I never thought my love was wasted *** chorus: Have mercy on him The love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him The love that I saved for him is gone *** verse 3: How do you know who you should blame? You spend your love, or you conserve it Its hard to hear him curse my name At least I know I dont deserve it *** chorus: Have mercy on him The love that I gave him is gone Have mercy on him The love that I saved for him is gone The love that I saved for him is gone
