the weakness in me
Singer: 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
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 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
but i need to see you
and i need to hold you
tightly
feeling guilty
worried
waking from tormented sleep
this old love has me bound but the new love cuts deep
if i choose now
i'll lose out
one of you has to fall
and 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 some kind of 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
but i need to see you
and i need to hold you
tightly
