Performed by Joan Armatrading)



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?

I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly.



Feeling guilty,

Worried, Waking from a tormented sleep

This old love, you know it has me bound,

But the new love cuts so deep.

If I choose now, I'll lose out;

One of you has to fall...

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?

And 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?

I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly
