Why do you?

Joan Armatrading
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?
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?
When I need to see you
And 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
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?
And make me lie when I don't want to
And 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?
When I need to see you
And I need to hold you tightly...

Do you miss me now?
Do you?
