To Be A Little Weaker

Story Behind The Song

I regretted not responding to someone at a club, always wondering is something may have come of it.

Song Description

Could it be possible that the typical evening at a club and the resulting one-night-stand scenario may actually be the unlikely start of a lifelong relationship? One character tries to convince another that this could be the case, through a lyric playing with opposites; mirroring the expectation and outcome of such a situation.

Lyrics

TO BE A LITTLE WEAKER
(Jeff West)

I can see you and I know you can see me
When you look my way, you look away
You keep holding out, I keep holding on
Part of you must want to go
Where all of me has gone
Will you ever ask me to dance?

Try a little harder
To be a little weaker
Look a little longer
Fall a little deeper
Open to persuasion
To enter this liaison
My first impression
Is we'll last forever

Just one night time or the start of a lifetime
You're not left alone if you come home
You keep holding out, I keep holding on
Part of you must want to stay
When all the rest have gone
Will you ever know how I feel?

If you just hold my glance
For a little while
You might have the chance
To see the promise in my smile
There's more than transience
On my mind
When you leave
I won't leave you behind
Will I ever know how you feel?

Come a little closer
To go a little further
Move a little faster
Leave a little slower
Open to persuasion
To enter this liaison
Try a little harder
To be a little weaker
