The Weakness In Me

Melissa Etherige

(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


CHORUS:


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 you make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool


And 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 mean to see you


And I mean to hold you


Tightly


Feeling guilty worried


Waking from tormented sleep


Oh this old love has me bound


But the new love cuts deep


If I choose now I'll lose out


Oh one of you has to fall


And I need you and you


CHORUS
