about

Fiery piano from Frank Martin starts this powerful samba—about falling into the vortex of passion—off with a roar. Ricardo Peixoto contributes a Brazilian guitar solo, and Michael Spiro and Paul Van Wageningen keep the groove happening.

This is one of Alexa's favorite songs to perform live!

lyrics

But I’m Weak (BMI)
Music and lyrics by Alexa Weber Morales © 2004

I know I shouldn't catch your eyes watching me
Beware the curve of your smile and your casual style
I know I shouldn't
But I'm weak

I know the dangers of electricity
Reject the hand brushing past mine and leave the laughter behind
I know I shouldn't
But I'm weak

Fight this tension
Siezing me deep inside
Turn off this force field
That has me sensitized
Stop imagining
Run away and hide
But I’m weak, weak, weak

Tempting flames
Your careless touch proclaims
The moment I feel most alive
Is when I
Die

I know I shouldn’t bask in your steam as we dance
Shrink away as your arms draw me near and your lips touch my ear
I know I shouldn't
But I'm weak
