Old Weakness (Coming On Strong)

Patty Loveless


Two in  the morning, too hot to sleep
Tossin' and turning and  twistin' the sheets
I  feel an old weakness coming on strong
Window wide open in  the back bedroom
Smell of sweet honeysuckle in  full bloom
I feel  an old weakness coming on strong

Feel like I'm running real  low on willpower
Can't get you  out of this heart of mine
From the break of dawn  till the midnight hour
I keep fighting to  let you go
But your  love is beyond my control

Took down that picture of  you and me
But every time I look up where it  used to be
I feel an old  weakness coming on strong
Still got your  number next to the phone
Just when I believe I can leave  it alone
I feel  an old weakness coming on strong

Feel like I'm running real  low on willpower
Can't get you out  of this heart of mine
From the  break of dawn till the midnight hour
I keep fighting to let you  go
But  your love is beyond my control
It's an old  weakness coming on strong
I feel an  old weakness, an old weakness
I feel an old weakness  coming on strong
