The Weakness In Me - 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 trouble 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 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

When 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

And I need you

And you

Why do you come here

When you know I've got trouble 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 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

When I mean to see you

And I mean to hold you

Tightly
