Song Lyrics

I'm not this sort of person
Who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection right from the start.
If I have a lover who loves me
How could I break such a heart?
You can still get my attention right from the start.

[Chorus]
Why do you come here when you know I 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 stare when I should not.
Are you so strong or is the weakness in me?

Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by?
But I need to see you
And I need to hold you... tightly
Baby

Feelin' guilty... worried
Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has been bound, but the new love cuts deep.
If I choose now, I lose out
'cause when all this has to fall
I need you and you alone

[Chorus]
Why do you come here when you know I got troubles enough?
Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone?
You make me lie when I don't want to
And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool.
You make me stare when I should not
Are you so strong or is the weakness in me?

You make me lie when I don't want to
And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool.
You make me stare when I should not.
Are you so strong or is 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 hold you... tightly
Baby
