I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love Show Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough? Feeling guilty, Why do you come here,
when you know I've got troubles enough? The Lyrics for The Weakness In Me by Joan Armatrading have been translated into 8 languages 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 troubles 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 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 But 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 But 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? Make me lie, when I don't want to And make someone else some kind of 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? But I need to see you And I mean to hold you Tightly Writer(s): Joan Anita Barbara Armatrading

Armatrading’s sound (in this song at least) is similar to Tracy Chapman, but she never got the airplay or the accolades that Chapman did. This song preceded Chapman’s and ranks higher than any of her songs, though Chapman’s catalog overall is better. Joan Armatrading“The Weakness in Me” tells the story of a woman in a relationship who meets someone while she is currently in love. Her current lover loves her, why would she look twice at anyone else? But she begins to fall for the new lover. We hear her struggle to keep the new love at bay. It is so hard. The physical chemistry is undeniable. It begins to complicate her life. Is she weak? Does her new lover feel this way about her too? By the end of the song we know what decision she will probably end up making, though she doesn’t outright say it. If this is at all autobiographical, I don’t think it would go well if she didn’t breakup with the old love and move to the new one. That would make for an awkward record-listening release party. The song is kind of jazz-ish, in both her vocal, and the heavy use of bass and piano. The bass plays a big part in creating the sound of this song. Her vocal is amazing. Notice that she doesn’t belt out any notes in an attempt for emphasis. We already hear the emotion in her words right from the beginning of the song. The lyrics are great. The words she chooses can be unexpected at times and she is able to convey a lot of thoughts in a few words. (see above).
