Oh, its a long time since I saw you
Well you know how time can fly
It seems like yesterday we were lovers
Now we pass each other by
Well you know how time can fly
It seems like yesterday we were lovers
Now we pass each other by
But if we're left alone tonight, don't ask me to hold you tight
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty
All my friends, keep asking
why I'm quiet while you're around?
They dont know I think I'm so lucky to stop myself from falling down
why I'm quiet while you're around?
They dont know I think I'm so lucky to stop myself from falling down
So later if you're on your own
Don't ask me to take you home
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty
Don't ask me to take you home
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty
'Coz if were left alone tonight
I'll have no choice but to hold you tight
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty
I'll have no choice but to hold you tight
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak
I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty
I go weak, darling, I love you
I go weak, theres no doubt about it
I go weak,
I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty
I go weak, youre my world
I go weak, I used to be your girl
I go weak
I go weak
weak in the presence of beauty...
I go weak, theres no doubt about it
I go weak,
I go weak, weak in the presence of beauty
I go weak, youre my world
I go weak, I used to be your girl
I go weak
I go weak
weak in the presence of beauty...

About"Weak in the Presence of Beauty" is a song written by Michael Ward and Rob Clarke. It was first released by their band, the British group Floy Joy, in 1986. The song was later covered by singer Alison Moyet in 1987 and became a hit for her.
In the official American Billboard Magazine of 18 January 1986, "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" was mentioned under the "Dance Trax" section. The article stated: "Floy Joy, much praised but barely charted (like Working Week, another of our undiscovered faves), sound like they have the key to both the U.S. and U.K. charts with "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" (Virgin/U.K.), a Don Was production that's sort of Shannon-meets-"Every Breath You Take". Addictive."
