Every time I think I’m out, dismantled again….
You got me on this one…….I made a CD for you but it had too many love songs and we are disengaged – but I put this song on and took it off about a dozen times – complete coincidence you offered it up today? – sometimes things are just too close for comfort – I have no comfort – leave me be!….I’m disengaging – my skin is crawling – you’re skin is crawling – but you hold the cards on this one and the choice was yours to make – so don’t sing me a sad love song:
The Weakness in Me by Joan Armatrading
I’m not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you, I give 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?
And make me lie when I don’t want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you’re so strong then resolve the weakness in me.
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you – I need to hold you – tightly.
Feeling guilty,
And I’m worried, and I’m waking from a tormented sleep
‘Cause this old love, you know it has me bound,
But this new love cuts so deep.
If I choose now, I’m bound to lose out;
One of you is gonna have to fall…
I need 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 make me lie when I don’t want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you’re so strong then resolve the weakness in me.
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you – I need to hold you – tightly.
