Sometimes I'm Virginia Woolf Sometimes I'm James Dean Sometimes I'm my only friend And my own worst enemy My right hand never knows What my left one's gonna do But I never meant to cause the harm That I have done to you Sometimes I drink beaujolais Sometimes I drink gin Sometimes the whiskey does me right Sometimes it does me in You've seen all my darkest shades And everything I've been Still I can hurt myself much more Than anyone else can I'm running for no reason I'm running and I'm blue There's no better cure for it Than being next to you I can't hide what I am I guess it's plain to see Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me Sometimes I live in a penthouse Sometimes I live in a shack Sometimes I fall off the wagon Like a train running off the track But I reckon that I'll jump back on it Get this monkey off my back Before I wind up back in prison Or give myself another heart attack I'm running for no reason I'm running and I'm blue There's no better cure for it Than being next to you I can't hide what I am I guess it's plain to see Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me Sometimes my weakness is stronger than me
