Lyrics The Weakness In Me - Joan Armatrading

The Weakness In Me

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.
If I have a lover who loves me how could I break such a heart,
you can still get my attention right from the start.
Why do you come here when you know I 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 unknowing fool
You make me stay when I should not.
Are you so strong or is 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
Baby
Feelin guilty… worried.
Waking from tormented sleep
this old love has me bound but the new love cuts deep.
If I choose now, I lose out
cause one of us has to fall
I need you and you aren’t here
Why do you come here when you know I got troubles enough?
Why do you call me when you know I cant answer the phone?
You make me lie when I dont 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 the weakness in me?
You make me lie when I dont 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 the weakness in me?
Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by when i need to see you
and i need hold you… tightly
Baby
woaaahhhhhhhhh
