Joan Armatrading: The Weakness In Me

来自西印度群岛的Joan Armatrading, 70年代起成为英伦Folk-Rock的代表性女歌手.

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 get my attention

Why do you come here when you know I've got trouble 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 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 mean to see you , and I mean to hold you, tightly

Feeling guilty, worried, Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound, but the new love cuts deep

If I choose now, I'll lose out
One of you has to fall, and I need you, and you…
