Weakness Lyrics - Love, War, And The Ghost Of Whitey Ford - Everlast

Met a fine red boned mami, she told me that her name was Lucille 

Met her on Fountain Avenue sitting on a Cadillac Coupe de Ville 

She said I'm a liar, a thief, a junkie and I used to be a whore 

And I've been trying to shake this monkey so long I just can't take it no more 

I got a weakness, I got a hunger, I got a jones 

I'm sick and I need to get well, I hurt deep in my bone 

I got a weakness, I got a fever, I got a thirst 

I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble 

Just waiting for it to burst? 

We talked all afternoon, she made me cry, I told some jokes 

She looked me deep in my eyes and told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax 

Her grandmother died when she was five and she never did know her folks 

Her father fell in a gun fight and her mother by an overdose 

I got a weakness I got a hunger, I got a jones 

I'm sick and I need to get well, I hurt deep in my bones 

I got a weakness, I got a fever, I got a thirst 

I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble 

Just waiting for it to burst 

She said I've slept with gangsters, thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors 

I've seen therapists and holy men but this weakness is my only friend 

It feeds my need it numbs my soul, it starts to creep and takes control 

Sell my flesh I pierce my skin 

And tomorrow I'ma do it all again 

I got a weakness I got a hunger I got a jones 

I'm sick and I need to get well 

I hurt deep in my bones. 

I got a weakness, I got a fever, I got a thirst, 

I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble 

Just waiting for it to burst?
