The Weakest Man Lyrics - Go-go Boots - Drive By Truckers

It's a shame for you to do me the way you did, babe 

Making me put you down before I was through 

You tempted me and tried me and I kept you right beside me 

You ruined me for everyone but you 

It's easy to love a thing so warm and soothing 

That gets you through the night so tenderly 

But after all these nights with you all I remember 

Is forgetting just how cold your heart can be 

Leaving you won't be any harder 

Than walking out the door and leaving town 

But I'll be leaving, knowing, surviving, you don't make me stronger 

Than the weakest man who's ever turned you down 

The body in that pretty dress you wore dear 

Fit my shaking hand just like a glove 

But tremblings for the fearful, old and crying 

Getting old and sad, and scared ain't worth your love 

So will you let me go just like I came, babe? 

Willful, clear of mind and free to see 

Clear enough to see the others like you 

And mindful my will breaks so easily 

Leaving you won't be any harder 

Than walking out the door and leaving town 

But I'll be leaving, knowing, surviving, you don't make me stronger 

Than the weakest man who's ever turned you down 

And leaving you won't be any harder 

Than walking out the door and leaving town 

But I'll be leaving, knowing, surviving, you don't make me stronger 

Than the weakest man who's ever turned you down
