What Joan Armatrading has to say...

"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 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 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.

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 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."
