Lyrics for Song: The Weakness On Me
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - 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 an unknowing fool?
You make me stay when I should not!
Are you so strong or is that 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 a tormented sleep
This old love has me bound,
But a new love cuts so 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?
Make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
You make me stay when I should not!
Are you so strong or is that 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.
