Joan Armatrading Weak Woman lyrics

Darling, I've got to tell you what I've done
I know, I'm gonna fill your heart with pain
But please believe me
I'm never gonna do it again

I said please forgive this weak woman
I said please forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you the heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Now I can't explain it
'Cause no one looks as good as you
I was struck by lightning
I was blinded and I was so confused
Before I knew it I was dancing across the room

I said please forgive this weak woman
I said please forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you, the heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Please forgive this weak woman
I said please forgive this weak woman

I had to tell you, the heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Never wanted to hurt you, baby
How did I get in this mess
My eyes were bigger than my memory
How could I forget

Please, I had to tell you
I had to tell you forgive me this one time
I had to tell you forgive me this one time

Please forgive this weak woman
I said please forgive this weak woman
I had to tell you, the heart was strong
But the flesh was willing

Please forgive this weak woman
I said please forgive this weak woman
