[Verse 1]
I love you
But I gotta stay true
Your morals got me on my knees
I'm begging, please
Stop playing games

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't know what this is, but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do, but you do it well
I'm under your spell

[Chorus]
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said release me

[Verse 2]
Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand
That I need a woman
Who can take my hand, yes I do

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what this is, but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do, but you do it well
I'm under your spell

[Chorus]
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said you'd better release me
Oh

[Bridge]
I'm begging you for mercy yes
Why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging for mercy

[Chorus]
Oh why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging for mercy
Oh
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
So why won't you release me?
Oh oh

[Outro]
Break it down
Beggin down on my knees
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Begging down on my knees
Down on my knees oh
Mercy
Yeah

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
