| Lyrics: | Written by: John Mellencamp
Well, I hear you downstairs;
you're foolin' around
with your father's brother
and your mother's gown.
All the old heroes keep coming
round
to find out 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 there 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 there with you in your weakest moments |
