the weakness in me

joan armatrading $arkısıdır..

i’m not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love..
but to you, i give 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?
and make me lie when i don’t want to,
and make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
make me stay when i should not?
if you’re so strong then resolve the weakness in me...

why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
i need to see you - i need to hold you - tightly.

feeling guilty,
and i’m worried, and i’m waking from a tormented sleep
’cause this old love, you know it has me bound,
but this new love cuts so deep.
if i choose now, i’m bound to lose out;
one of you is gonna have to fall...
i need you, baby.

why do you come here, when you know i’ve got troubles enough?
