Joan Armatrading The Weakness In Me Lyrics

The Weakness In Me Lyrics

I'm not the sort of person who falls
In and quickly out of love
But to you
I gave my affection
Right from the start.
I have a lover who loves
me:
How could I break such a heart?
Yet still you gained 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?
Make me lie, when I don't want to
And make someone else some kind
of an unknowin' fool
You make me stare, 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?
But I need to see you,
And I mean to hold
you
Tightly.

Feeling guilty, worried,
Waking from tormented
sleep
This old love has me bound
But this new love cuts deep.
If I
choose now, I'll lose out
One of you has to fall
But 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?
Make me lie, when I don't want to
And make someone else soem kind
of an unknowin' fool
You make me stare, 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?
But I need to see you,
And I mean to hold
you
Tightly.
