I have a weakness for you

A weakness I didn't think I was capable of exposing

A weakness that causes my heart to constrict at the mention of your name

A weakness that makes me want to withstand the rain

**I can't believe I keep doing this to myself**

As much as I wish I could block you out of my heart . . . my head . . . my life

As much as I wish I could just disconnect . . .

My spirit still knows when you are near

**I'm losing my cool**

I try my best to stay strong

Keep my feelings tucked deep down inside

But once the conversation starts to flow,

They all tumble,

My tongue betrays me,

My feelings come flooding out with a deep look

Into your eyes

**Running back to you every time you call**

Your presence does nothing but draw me in closer

I yearn to be in your arms

Have you hold me tight and smother me with your

Kiss

**Damn**

When we are together, I can't stop talking,

We laugh,

We share a few drinks,

Until I can't resist the touch from you

**Your loving makes me weak/We can't stop**

But I . . .

**Don't remember the last time I came over to your place**

But then we keep on . . .

**Drinking, Touching, and Kissing**

Until we got to the point where we . . .

**Didn't care who [would] see**

You have added an element to my life I didn't know existed. My . . .

**Hair is all out of place**

Not from the love we have made

But from the stress you have caused by

Bringing my heart to such a quickened pace

**Dude, where are my shoes . . .**
