Mercenary Lyrics - Talk Show - The Go-go's

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 turning 

Been through it before 

There's no profit or learning 

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?"
