The Weakness In Me
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
And if I have a lover
Who loves me
How could I break such a heart
Yet still you get my attention right from the start
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 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 mean to see you
And I mean to hold you tightly, babe
Feeling guilty, worried
Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But the new love cuts deep
If I choose now
I'll lose out
'Cause when all this has to fall
I need you and you alone
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
You make me lie
When I don't 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 don't 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 mean to see you
And I mean to hold you tightly
Who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection
Right from the start
And if I have a lover
Who loves me
How could I break such a heart
Yet still you get my attention right from the start
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 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 mean to see you
And I mean to hold you tightly, babe
Feeling guilty, worried
Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But the new love cuts deep
If I choose now
I'll lose out
'Cause when all this has to fall
I need you and you alone
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
You make me lie
When I don't 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 don't 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 mean to see you
And I mean to hold you tightly
