weak woman

Joan Armatrading

Darling
I've got to tell you what I've done
I know
I'm gonna fill your heart with pain
But please believe me
I'm never gonna do it again

I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you
The heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Now I can't explain it
Cos no one looks as good as you
I was struck by lightning
I was blinded
I was so confused
Before I knew it
I was dancing across the room

I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you
The heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Please
Forgive this weak woman
I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you
The heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Never wanted to hurt you baby
How did I get in this mess
My eyes were bigger than my memory
How could I forget
Please
I had to tell you
I had to tell you
Forgive me this one time
I had to tell you
Forgive me this one time

Please
Forgive this weak woman
I said please
Forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you
The heart was strong
But the flesh was willing
