"Old Weakness"


Two in the mornin' too hot to sleep
Tossin' and turnin' and twistin' the sheets
I feel an old weakness comin' on strong

Window wide open in the back bedroom
Smell of sweet huneysuckle in full bloom
I feel an old weakness comin' on strong

Feel like I'm runnin' real low on will power
Can't get you out of this heart of mine
From the break of dawn 'til the midnight hour
I keep fightin' to let you go
But your love is beyond my control

Took down that picture of you and me
But every time I look up where it used to be
I feel an old weakness comin' on strong

Still got your number next to the phone
Just when I believe I can leave it alone
I feel an old weakness comin' on strong

Feel like I'm running real low on willpower
Can't get you out of this heart of mine
From the break of dawn 'til the midnight hour
I keep fightin' to let you go
But your love is beyond my control
I feel an old weakness comin' on strong

I feel an old weakness, I feel an old weakness
I feel an old weakness comin' on strong
