Joan Armatrading - The Weakness In Me

	Sign In Sign-Up

I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love

But to you, I give 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?

And make me lie when I don't want to,

And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?

Make me stay when I should not?

If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me

Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?

I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly

Feeling guilty,

And I'm worried, and I'm waking from a tormented sleep

'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound,

But this new love cuts so deep

If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out;

One of you is gonna have to fall

I need you, baby
