[Verse 1]

Girl, you tell me I'm your only fellow

But I've seen you out with other guys

I've seen you kissing them too, you laughed and said it wasn't true

Cause you know where my weakness lies


[Chorus]

Girl, yeah you can always get through to me

No matter how much wrong you do to me

I'm helpless, ain't nothing I can do

Cause you know my weakness is you


[Verse 2]

I built a wall around my heart

When you left me for that other man

But brick by brick, girl, you tore it down

And I found myself loving you again


[Chorus]

Somehow you always get through to me

No matter how much wrong you do to me

I'm helpless, ain't nothing I can do

Cause you know my weakness is


[Bridge]

And I'm just your fool

Baby, baby, baby

I said the next time you knocked on my door

I rehearsed and planned to send you away

But the words I rehearsed came out in reverse

Instead of sending you away, I begged you to stay


[Chorus]

Girl, you know you can always get through to me

No matter how much wrong you do to me

I'm helpless, ain't nothing I can do

Cause you know my weakness is my, my baby

Oh no you can always get through to me

No matter how much wrong you do to me

I'm helpless, ain't nothing I can do

Cause you know my my my my my my my

Girl, you know you can always get through to me

No matter how much wrong you do to me

I tell you I'm helpless...
