Weakness in me
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
And 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 and I don't want to
Make someone else some kind of an 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 need to see you
And I need to hold you tight
Feeling guilty, worried
Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But a 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 and I don't want to
Make someone else some kind of an ongoing 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
And I need to see you
And I need to hold you tight
