John Mellencamp Weakest Moments Lyrics

Well, I hear you downstairs you're foolin' around
With your father's brother and your mother's gown
And 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

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

When you say you can't 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, girl, till you find the gate
That swings on that thin line of love and hate
And baby, just let it go

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

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

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