Weakness Lyrics

[Verse 1: Stevie Wonder + Dionne Warwick]
Every time I think our love is drifting apart
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


[Chorus: Stevie Wonder + Dionne Warwick]
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


[Verse 2: Stevie Wonder + Dionne Warwick]
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


[Chorus: Stevie Wonder + Dionne Warwick + Both]
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

[Bridge: Stevie Wonder + Dionne Warwick]
We keep thinking that our love won't last beyond tomorrow
But our hearts say we're gonna stay in love this way
[Chorus: Stevie Wonder + Dionne Warwick + Both]
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
Everyone has got a weakness in life
Boy, you just happen to be mine
Everyone has got a certain weakness in life
Your love just happens to be mine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
