Weakness

Sometimes I'm Virginia Woolfe Sometimes I'm James Dean Sometimes I'm my only friend and my own worst enemy My right hand never knows, what my left hand's gonna do But I never meant to cause the pain that I have done to you Sometimes I drink Beaujolais sometimes I drink gin Sometimes whisky does me right and sometimes it does me in But you've seen all my darker shades, everything I been Still I can't hurt myself much more than anyone else can I'm wailing for no reason, I'm wailing and I'm blue There's no better cure for it than being next to you I can't hide what I am, guess it's plain to see Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me Sometimes I live in a penthouse, sometimes I live in a shack Sometimes I fall off the wagon, ride the train right off the track But I reckon that I jump back on it Get this monkey off my back Before I wind up back in prison or give myself another heart attack I'm wailing for no reason, I'm wailing and I'm blue There's no better cure for it than being next to you I can't hide what I am, guess it's plain to see Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me
