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?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you're so strong then resolve 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,
And I'm worried, and I'm waking from a tormented sleep
'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound,
But this new love cuts so deep
If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out;
One of you is gonna have to fall
I need you, baby

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?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you're so strong then resolve 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
