Weakness

Met a fine redbone mama
She told me that her name was Lucille
Met her on Fountain Avenue
Sittin′ on the back of a Cadillac Coupe de Ville
She said I'm a liar, a thief, I′m a junkie
And I used to be a whore
And I've been trying to shake this monkey so long
I just can't take it no more

And she said I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I′m sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bones
And I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I′m sittin' on the edge of the bottle
Just waiting for it to burst


We talked all afternoon
She made me cry, I told some jokes
She looked me deep in my eyes
Told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax
Her grandma died when she was five
And she never did know her folks
Her father fell in a gunfight
And her mother by an overdose

And she said I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I′m sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bones
And I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I'm sittin′ on the edge of the bottle
Just waiting for it to burst

She said I've slept with gangsters, thugs, and smugglers
Congressmen and governors
I′ve seen therapists and holy men
But this weakness is my only friend
It feeds my need and numbs my soul
It starts to creep and take control
I sell my flesh, pierce my skin
And tomorrow I'll do it all again


'Cause I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I′m sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bones
I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I′m sittin' on the edge of the bottle
Just waiting for it to burst
