[00:00.00]Why Must I Plead - Richard Thompson
[00:00.43]All your bitterness and lies
[00:07.65]Sting like tears in my eyes
[00:14.91]And a thousand lovesick tunes
[00:19.02]Won't wash away the wounds from my mind
[00:31.12]You've been seen around
[00:32.98]You're a news sensation
[00:37.75]You got a better deal and you took his invitation
[00:44.98]You've been sitting on his lap and taking his dictation
[00:50.47]Oh upon
[00:50.89]Mercy
[00:53.81]We used to love all day and drive all night
[00:57.71]Oh
[00:57.99]Mercy
[01:01.80]Jealousy used to whet your appetite
[01:04.64]Mercy

[01:13.61]Why must I plead with you darling
[01:19.64]Why must I plead with you darling
[01:27.51]Why must I plead with you darling
[01:31.15]For what's already mine
[01:50.17]My friends are indiscreet
[01:56.45]And I sing myself to sleep
[02:04.04]I don't mind the red wine
[02:07.55]Or the pickup line as long as it's cheap
[02:19.06]I ask you what's wrong
[02:20.77]And you say I'm all yours
[02:25.89]I ask who your friend is
[02:28.13]And you say Santa clause
[02:32.78]I ask you to come home
[02:34.82]You say you're tired of being indoors
[02:38.34]Oh paton
[02:39.03]Mercy
[02:42.67]You know you signed on that dotted line
[02:45.54]Mercy
[02:49.28]You signed yours and I signed mine
[02:52.49]Oh
[02:52.88]Mercy
[02:56.64]You said forever till the end of time
[03:02.21]Why must I plead with you darling
[03:08.10]Why must I plead with you darling
[03:14.31]Why must I plead with you darling
[03:19.66]For what's already mine
