Well, I hear you downstairs
You're foolin' around with your father's brother
And your mother's gownAll the old heroes keep coming around
To find you, if you're still at homeSo you lie in the sun, watch your body turn to tan
Your skin is oiled with the sweat of a manHe bought you a diamond ring, girl, to wear on your hand
And, baby, he's leaving tomorrowYeah, I'll be with you in your weakest moments, uh huh
Yeah, I'll be with you in your weakest momentsYou 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 bodyAnd 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 goYeah, I'll be with you in your weakest moments, uh huh
Yeah, I'll be with you in your weakest moments
