SONG:The 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?
yet still you gained 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 an unknowin' fool
you make me stare, 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 mean to hold you
tightly.
Feeling guilty, worried,
waking from tormented sleep
this old love has me bound
but this new love cuts deep.
if i choose now, i'll lose out
one of you has to fall
but 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 soem kind of an unknowin' fool
you make me stare, 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 mean to hold you
tightly.
