Hold My Feet to the Fire

Oh, I'm crying out mercy, mercy, mercy
Hold my feet to the fire, baby

I thought I was the worst of my kind
And I'm sure torture might be a means to my end
I see the nature of the beast I swear
Something got a hold of me I declare on my life

Pain might make some give up everything
I like the crime
Almost as much as I like the punishment

Sometimes I blame curiosity
I'm always at fault
At least you got me to confess as much

Oh, I'm crying out mercy, mercy, mercy
Hold my feet to the fire, baby
Please whatever you do don't throw me in that briar patch

Oh, I'm crying out mercy, mercy, mercy
Hold my feet to the fire, baby
I'm beginning to think that I might've underestimated you

Oh I know you buried the hatchet
'Cause you buried me right beside it
I never thought to ask what I had myself in for
