Weakness
Dionne Warwick & Stevie Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something always throws it back together
And every time I think I've found someone new for my heart
After one kiss my heart tells me never
Ooh, oh, everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh, everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Every time I think your love has no more to give
You do something more to take me higher
And every time I think that for someone else I could live
I'd be living love out as a liar
Oh, everyone has got a weakness in life
Boy, you just happen to be mine
Oh, everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
We keep thinking that our love won't last beyond tomorrow
But our hearts say we're gonna stay in love this way
Ooh, oh, everyone has got a weakness in life
Girl, you just happen to be mine
Oh, everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine
Say it again
Oh, everyone has got a weakness in life
Boy, you just happen to be mine
Oh, everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine

This song is nostalgia! I remember falling in love for the first time. Everytime I saw her or was in her presence it gave me butterflies and I found myself saying and doing foolish things to impress her. We've been married for 27 blessed years. Her sweetness was my weakness!

My father bought this album for my mother on Valentine's 1985 and she played the hell out of it. Still brings back good memories.
