The Weakness In Me
[Verse 1]
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
If I have a lover who loves me how could I break such a heart?
You can still get my attention right from the start

[Chorus]
Why do you come here when you know I 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 the weakness in me?

Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by?
But I need to see you
And I need to hold you...tightly
Baby

[Verse 2]
Feelin guilty...worried...waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound, but the new love cuts deep
If I choose now, I lose out 'cause one of us has to fall
I need you, and you alone

[Chorus]
Why do you come here when you know I 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 the weakness in me?
You 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 the weakness in me?

Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by?
When I need to see you
And I need to hold you...tightly
Baby...
