Right Back in Your Arms Again

Mel Tillis · Life's Turned Her That Way [Kapp] [1967]

(Mel Tillis)



So many times I've told myself

We're through, it's done, that's all

And I think that I convinced

My pride that it must naver fall.



But even though you can't be true

I know that I can't win

'Cause it don't take long till pride is gone

And I'm in your arms again.



For just a few lonely hours

And a few sleepless nights

Too many teardrops

And the heart that won't beat right.



Too many mem'ries

And the fight that I can't win

And I'm right back in

Your arms again.



--- Instrumental ---



Too many nights I've laid awake

And prayed for day to come

With my mind made up to just give up

Leave and not return.



But a smile or two I get from you

And that old feeling begins

And it don't take long to turn me on

And I'm in your arms again.



For just a few lonely hours

And a few sleepless nights

Too many teardrops

And the heart that won't beat right.



Too many mem'ries

And the fight that I can't win

And I'm right back in

Your arms again...
