Joan Armatrading - The Weakness In Me lyrics

Im 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.

Why do you come here, when you know Ive got troubles enough?

Why do you call me, when you know I cant answer the phone?

Make me lie when I dont 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 - tighhhht-lyyy.

Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep

This old love has me bound,

But the new love cuts deep.

If I choose now, Ill lose out;

One of you has to fall...

And I need you, and you ...

Why do you come here, when you know Ive got troubles enough?

Why do you call me, when you know I cant answer the phone?

Make me lie I do not want to,

And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?

You make me stay when I should not

Are you so strong, resolve the weakness in me.

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

I need to see you

And I need to hold you - tighhhht-lyyy
