Indigo Girls The Weakness In Me
"The Weakness in Me" is a Joan Armatrading song that the girls used to do back in 1986, though they resurrected it a few times in 1991. A version of it appears on "Blue Food." The Weakness in Me. 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.
