Introduction
“You Leave Me Weak” appears as the fourth track on Pull My Chain, Keith’s sixth studio album, which debuted at number 1 on the US Country Albums chart and was certified 2× Multi-Platinum for over two million sales in the United States. The album was produced by James Stroud and Toby Keith under DreamWorks Nashville and solidified Keith’s reputation for blending humor, heart, and honky-tonk sensibilities.
Clocking in at three minutes and twenty-two seconds, “You Leave Me Weak” showcases a gentle shuffle driven by warm acoustic guitar, understated steel fills, and a steady rhythm section. Its lyricism, penned by Keith and Emerick, leans into candid imagery:
“I’m the one who gets that look in your eye… Ooh ooh ooh, baby you leave me weak”.
This refrain underscores the theme of surrender—how the simplest touch can render even the strongest person powerless in love’s embrace.
What makes “You Leave Me Weak” resonate is its relatable vulnerability. Rather than bravado or clichés, Keith invites us into a quieter, more personal space where love’s intensity is measured in trembling skin and shared secrets . It’s the kind of song you find yourself playing late at night, pondering the softness of a partner’s hand or the way small gestures can carry immense weight. This emotional honesty helps listeners feel seen and understood, as though Keith himself is whispering confidence into their ear.
Even though it was never released as a single, “You Leave Me Weak” remains a favorite among fans who cherish Keith’s deeper cuts. In an era dominated by digital singles, this track stands as a reminder of the album-as-journey—a place where songs find their power not in chart positions but in the quiet connections they forge. For anyone who’s ever felt love’s gentle pull, this song still delivers a moment of heartfelt revelation.

Lyrics
I’m the one who gets that look in your eye
And I’m the one who feels you tremble inside
I’m the one who steals those kisses from your breath
Sometimes it’s so good at night, it scares me to death
Thinkin’ what would I do if I didn’t have you
I’m as strong, strong as I can be
But ooh, ooh, ooh baby you leave me weak
Put my hands upon your skin
And it warms me to the touch
All that I can think about while we’re makin’ love
Is I’m the only one who knows how passionate you get
About all of our deepest little secrets that we’ve kept
As the night gets longer girl you just get stronger
And you pour yourself all over me
Ooh, ooh, ooh baby you leave me weak
And it always blows me away by the power that you hold
When the moment kicks in and the magic unfolds
And you wrap your love around me
And it brings me to my knees
Will you give me strength, all the strength that I need
As the night gets longer girl you just get stronger
And you pour yourself all over me
Ooh, ooh, ooh baby you leave me weak
Ooh, ooh, ooh baby you leave me weak
