The Weakness On Me Lyrics - 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 

And 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 mean to see you 

And I mean to hold you, tightly
