Here In My Arms Lyrics

Here in my arms
It's adorable
It's deplorable
That you were never there (that you were never there)

When someone's lips are so kissable (when someone's lips are so kissable)
It's permissible for me to ask my share (it's permissible for me to ask my share)
Next to my heart
It is ever so lonely (it is ever so lonely)
I'm holding only air

Yeah, here in my arms (here in my arms)
It's adorable (it's adorable)
It's deplorable (it's deplorable)
That you were never there (that you were never there)

Next to my heart
It is ever so lonely (it is ever so lonely)
I'm holding only air

Yeah, here in my arms (in my arms)
It's adorable (it's adorable)
It's deplorable (it's deplorable)
That you were never there (that you were never there)
That you were never there (that you were never there)
That you were never there...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
