The Weakness In Me Lyrics

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

But 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

You made me lie

When I don’t want to

Make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool

And you make 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 need see you

And I need to hold you tightly

Feeling guilty, worried

Waking from tormented sleep

Ohh, this old love has me bound

But the new love cuts me deep

If I choose now

I’ll lose out

One of you has to fall

I need you

You, baby

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 made me lie

When I don’t want to

Make someone else some kind of an unkowing fool

And you make 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 need see you

And I need hold you tightly
