Performed by Joan Armatrading)

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?
You make me stay when I should not?
Are you so strong or is all 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,
Worried, Waking from a tormented sleep
This old love, you know it has me bound,
But the new love cuts so deep.
If I choose now, I'll lose out;
One of you has to fall...
I need you, and you.

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?
And make me stay when I should not?
Are you so strong or is all 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 - tight
