Met a fine red boned mami
She told me that her name was Lucille
Met her on Fountain Avenue
Sitting on a Cadillac Coupe De Ville

She said, I´m a liar, a thief, a junkie
And I used to be a whore
And I´ve been trying to shake this monkey
So long, I just can´t take it no more

I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I´m sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bone

I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I´m sitting on the edge of the bubble
Just waiting for it to burst

We talked all afternoon
She made me cry, I told some jokes
She looked me deep in my eyes
And told me love was nothing but a cruel hoax

Her grandmother died when she was five
And she never did know her folks
Her father fell in a gun fight
And her mother by an overdose

I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I´m sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bones

I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I´m sitting on the edge of the bubble
Just waiting for it to burst

She said, I´ve slept with gangsters
Thugs and smugglers, congressman and governors
I´ve seen therapists and holy men
But this weakness is my only friend

It feeds my need, it numbs my soul
It starts to creep and take control
I sell my flesh, I pierce my skin
And tomorrow I´ma do it all again

´Cause I got a weakness
I got a hunger, I got a jones
I´m sick and I need to get well
I hurt deep in my bones

I got a weakness
I got a fever, I got a thirst
I´m sitting on the edge of the bubble
Just waiting for it to burst
