I am in Jo'burg, South Africa these 3 weeks.
Today I was stuck up in the traffic while coming into the office, and I switched on the radio for the traffic details.

Then I heard this song, Mercy by Duffy.
I came over to the office, and had to search for the song.
The song is just brilliant, so refreshing and the video is amazing, she is very talented and so are the dancers. I hope she brings the younger masses to enjoy old soul and motown style music that will never disappear.

Duffy - Mercy Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you
But I gotta stay true
My moral’s got me on my knees
I’m begging please
Stop playing games

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

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 better release me

Now you think that I
Will be some thing on the side
But you got to understand
That I need a man
Who can take my hand, yes I do

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

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 better release me

I’m begging you for mercy
Just why won’t you release me
I’m begging you for mercy
You got me begging
You got me begging
You got me begging

Mercy
Why won’t you release me
I’m begging you for mercy
Why wont you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
I’m begging you for mercy
Why won’t you release me
Bring it on

Mercy
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging
Down on my knees
I said mercy
Begging you for mercy
You got me begging

Background voice:
You make me think as I don’t care
Because you don't know what I got and
I wanna get more than I’m asking for
but I just don't want to waste my time
you think that I better let it go
just like there’s nothing in this world
I know that I gonna play this song
like I just don't know anything at all

And then I hear that, Mercy is a Howlin Wolf original tune called ‘Who’s Been Talking’, with new lyrics rambled over it. :(
