Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

Weakest Moments

Well, I hear you downstairs

You're foolin around with your fathers brother

And your mother's gown

All the old heroes keep comin around

To find you, if you're still at home

So you lie in the sun, watch your body turn to tan

Your skin is oiled with the sweat of a man

He bought you a diamond ring girl, to wear on your hand

And, baby, he's leaving tomorrow

Chorus:

Yeah, I'll be with you in your weakest moments, uh huh

Yeah, I'll be with you in your weakest moments

You say you remember when it was your world

And you were mister ruby's girl

He gave you dreams and schemes that swirl

Around your head and your body

And when you drink sometimes, you try to liberate

And you stagger in the front yard till you find the gate

That swing on that thin line of love and hate

And baby, just let it go

Chorus:

Yeah, I'll be with you in your weakest moments, uh huh

Yeah, I'll be with you in your weakest moments
