The Weakness In Me

Joan Armatrading 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 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 mean to hold you tightly

Feeling guilty, worried
Waking from a tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But this 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 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?
But I need to see you, and I mean to hold you tightly
