The Weakness In Me (Live)

The Weakness In Me (Live) - Joan Armatrading

Written by：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 gained 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 unknowin' fool

You make me stare 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 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

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 unknowin' fool

You make me stare 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
