| ~ WEAKNESS IN A MAN ~ |
 |
| WEAKNESS IN A MAN (HISTORY) In my opinion, nobody ever had a better singing voice than Brook Benton. Different maybe, but none better. Jimmy Bowen produced this record on the west coast with the Hollywood strings (Violin Section), in the background. I had just bought a stereo, (the going thing of that time), and when I got this recording in and played it I was overwhelmed. It was like taking a country songwriter's music to another level. I was so overcome that I actually had tears in my eyes as I listened to it. It was like having one of your daughters crowned Miss America!!!!!! Brook performed it to perfection, but this was how he always did things. He later did another song of mine and it was great also. His wife said he liked to kinda tickle the keys of a piano so I put one on his web page, in appreciation. I loved this when he did it, and now many years later, I still do..... JERRY |
| WEAKNESS IN A MAN Funny how you've changed It makes me wonder, have I ever really known you? How could you abuse and use The kindness and tenderness I've shown you If I'd a known, then I'd have shown The strength on which my love could make a stand But you've mistaken tenderness and kindness For the weakness in a man I can give you almost Anything if I know what you're looking for I can give you everything That any other man can give, and a little bit more He may promise you the world But I can give you everything he can So don't mistake my tenderness For any sign of weakness in your man I may live my life alone With walls of stone inside some lonely cell But no man's gonna take the love I own And ever live to tell the tale So don't forsake the vows you made And don't remove my little golden band And don't mistake my tenderness For any sign of weakness in a man Tag: No don't mistake my tenderness For any sign of weakness in your man (Words and Music by JERRY CHESNUT) |
