Kryptonite

Mother of mine you never told me this
You never warned me how the grape vine grows
Mother of mine you never gave me caution
You never said your love would be unique

Your sort of love was unconditional
Your brand of care was all my own
Now you're gone your special chosen one
Seems to have lost some of that bright mystique

You're my Achilles Heel, you're my Kryptonite
You're my weakest link, my femme fatale
You're the one way in, the punch upon my chin
The knockout blow, to my morale

If only love followed rhyme and reason
If only love was down to whim
If only I could be a slave to reason
If only I could learn to swim

It's colder world than I thought I would find
It's bleaker life that I am in
It's tougher blend and I can't handle it
It's harder game than I can win

I've had to learn that I could do no wrong
Was a point of view not widely shared
I had to learn the world would always turn
Even when I'm unprepared

You're my Achilles Heel, you're my Kryptonite
You're my weakest link, my femme fatale
You're the one way in, the punch upon my chin
The knockout blow, to my morale

If only love followed rhyme and reason
If only love was down to whim
If only I could be a slave to reason
If only I could learn to swim
