Stay Out Of My Arms

(Jim Lauderdale)



Many times temptation grows so strong

And makes someone go blind to what is wrong

We'll stop right now while there's still the strength to see

Turn your eyes and run away from me.



Stay out of my arms, take me advice

It's easy to break the same heart twice

Let's stop the hurt before it starts

Don't follow me, stay out of my arms.

I'm sure you'll find someone to have and hold

And keep the promises that you were told

I'd only lead you on and let you down

And hurt you when good memories can't be found.



Stay out of my arms, take me advice

It's easy to break the same heart twice

Let's stop the hurt before it starts

Don't follow me, stay out of my arms.



Stay out of my arms, take me advice

It's easy to break the same heart twice

Let's stop the hurt before it starts

Don't follow me, stay out of my arms.



Don't follow me, stay out of my arms...
