EVERLAST - Weakness lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Met a fine red boned mami<br>

She told me that her name was Lucille<br>

Met her on Fountain Avenue<br>

Sitting on a Cadillac Coupe De Ville<br>

<br>

She said, I'm a liar, a thief, a junkie<br>

And I used to be a whore<br>

And I've been trying to shake this monkey<br>

So long, I just can't take it no more<br>

<br>

I got a weakness<br>

I got a hunger, I got a jones<br>

I'm sick and I need to get well<br>

I hurt deep in my bone<br>

<br>

I got a weakness<br>

I got a fever, I got a thirst<br>

I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble<br>

Just waiting for it to burst<br>

<br>

We talked all afternoon<br>

She made me cry, I told some jokes<br>

She looked me deep in my eyes<br>

And told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax<br>

<br>

Her grandmother died when she was five<br>

And she never did know her folks<br>

Her father fell in a gun fight<br>

And her mother by an overdose<br>

<br>

I got a weakness<br>

I got a hunger, I got a jones<br>

I'm sick and I need to get well<br>

I hurt deep in my bones<br>

<br>

I got a weakness<br>

I got a fever, I got a thirst<br>

I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble<br>

Just waiting for it to burst<br>

<br>

She said, I've slept with gangsters<br>

Thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors<br>

I've seen therapists and holy men<br>

But this weakness is my only friend<br>

<br>

It feeds my need, it numbs my soul<br>

It starts to creep and take control<br>

I sell my flesh, I pierce my skin<br>

And tomorrow I'ma do it all again<br>

<br>

'Cause I got a weakness<br>

I got a hunger, I got a jones<br>

I'm sick and I need to get well<br>

I hurt deep in my bones<br>

<br>

I got a weakness<br>

I got a fever, I got a thirst<br>

I'm sitting on the edge of the bubble<br>

Just waiting for it to burst<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
