The Weakness in Me

The Weakness in Me Lyrics

(Joan Armatrading)
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 get my attention
CHORUS:
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
You make me lie when I don't want to
And you make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool
And 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
But I mean to see you
And I mean to hold you
Tightly
Feeling guilty worried
Waking from tormented sleep
Oh this old love has me bound
But the new love cuts deep
If I choose now I'll lose out
Oh one of you has to fall
And I need you and you
CHORUS
