"The Weakness in Me" – Songtext
von 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 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 mean to see you
And I mean to hold you, tightly


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
One of you has to fall
But 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 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
