Lyrics
I was the intelligent kind
Never let my heart rule my mind
But it took an earthquake to find
I was weak for the man
All he had to do was say please
And my heart grew weak in the knees
He could charm the birds off the trees
Now I'm weak for the man
I seek for the man
Anytime, any place, anywhere, he is there
Even though we're apart
Day is night, black is white, wrong is right
When you follow your heart, when you follow your heart
Feelin' sorta reckless and bad
Living every moment I've had
Don't know if it's good, or it's bad
I'm so weak for the man
Feelin' sort of light in the head
Though my heart is heavy as lead
I guess I should have stayed home in bed
Now I'm weak for the man
Suddenly, meek for the man
I seek for the man
'Cause I'm weak for the man
Weak for the man
