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.
