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
