Weak Woman

Darling

I've got to tell you what I've done

I know

I'm gonna fill your heart with pain

But please believe me

I'm never gonna do it again



I said please

Forgive this weak woman

I said please

Forgive this weak woman

I had to tell you

The heart was strong

But the flesh was willing



Now I can't explain it

Cos no one looks as good as you

I was struck by lightning

I was blinded

I was so confused

Before I knew it

I was dancing across the room



I said please

Forgive this weak woman

I said please

Forgive this weak woman

I had to tell you

The heart was strong

But the flesh was willing



Please

Forgive this weak woman

I said please

Forgive this weak woman

I had to tell you

The heart was strong

But the flesh was willing



Never wanted to hurt you baby

How did I get in this mess

My eyes were bigger than my memory

How could I forget

Please

I had to tell you

I had to tell you

Forgive me this one time

I had to tell you

Forgive me this one time



Please

Forgive this weak woman

I said please

Forgive this weak woman

I had to tell you

The heart was strong

But the flesh was willing
