Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'd be flying down a dead-end road

A highway without a home

If she wasn't my weakness

If she wasn't my weakness

I'd be half a soul from saved

I'd be one foot in the grave

If she wasn't my weakness

If she wasn't my weakness

She's a hurricane raining holy water

Yeah, and every piece of me can't live without her

She ain't no cigarette you can put it down

Like a habit, get past it

She's the only thing, I know I gotta have it, yeah

She ain't no whiskey pour, you can wave it off

And walk away from, leave it half drunk

She's stronger than that

I'd still be lost and running, if she wasn't my weakness

Oh, my weakness

...

Oh, my wild side's a little too strong

Would'a screwed it up and done her wrong

If she wasn't my weakness

If she wasn't my weakness

All the give in to temptation

The good times I'd be wasting

If she wasn't my weakness

If she wasn't my weakness

She's a sunrise summer in the darkest hour

Yeah, and every piece of me can't live without her

She ain't no cigarette you can put it down

Like a habit, get past it

She's the only thing, I know I gotta have it, yeah

She ain't no whiskey pour, you can wave it off

And walk away from, leave it half drunk

She's stronger than that

I'd still be lost and running, if she wasn't my weakness

Oh, my weakness

...

...

Yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh

...

She's the voice in your head, you wanna turn up louder

Yeah, and every piece of me can't live without her

She ain't no cigarette you can put it down

Like a habit, get past it

She's the only thing, I know I gotta have it, yeah

She ain't no whiskey pour, you can wave it off

And walk away from, leave it half drunk

She's stronger than that

I'd still be lost and running, if she wasn't my weakness

Oh, my weakness

Yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh

...
