10 Things I Hate About You The Weakness In Me Lyrics

The Weakness In Me Lyrics

Performed by Joan Armatrading) 

  

 I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love 

 But to you, I give my affection, right from the start. 

 I have a lover who loves me - how could I break such a heart? 

 Yet still you get my attention. 

  

 Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough? 

 Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone? 

 And make me lie when I don't want to, 

 And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool? 

 You make me stay when I should not? 

 Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me? 

 Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by? 

 I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly. 

  

 Feeling guilty, 

 Worried, Waking from a tormented sleep 

 This old love, you know it has me bound, 

 But the new love cuts so deep. 

 If I choose now, I'll lose out; 

 One of you has to fall... 

 I need you, and you. 

  

 Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough? 

 Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone? 

 And make me lie when I don't want to, 

 And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool? 

 And make me stay when I should not? 

 Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me? 

 Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by? 

 I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly
