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 turnin'

Been through it before

There's no profit or learnin'

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?"
