These Arms of Mine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
These arms of mine
They are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue
These arms of mine
They are yearning
Yearning from wanting you
[Chorus]
And if you
Would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
[Verse 2]
These arms of mine
They are burning
Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
They are wanting
Wanting to hold you
[Chorus]
And if you
Would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
These arms of mine
They are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue
These arms of mine
They are yearning
Yearning from wanting you
[Chorus]
And if you
Would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
[Verse 2]
These arms of mine
They are burning
Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine
They are wanting
Wanting to hold you
[Chorus]
And if you
Would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
[Outro]
C'mon, c'mon baby
Just be my little woman
Just be my lover, oh
I need me somebody
Somebody to treat me right, oh
And I need your arms, loving arms
To hold me tight
And I-I-I need, I need your
I need your tender lips
To hold me...
C'mon, c'mon baby
Just be my little woman
Just be my lover, oh
I need me somebody
Somebody to treat me right, oh
And I need your arms, loving arms
To hold me tight
And I-I-I need, I need your
I need your tender lips
To hold me...
