Right Now I'd Come Back and Melt in Her Arms
George Jones · Grand Tour/Alone Again [Epic] [1999]
So many times she has cheated
And settled me down with her charms
It's easy to see how she's done me
But right now I'd come back and melt in her arms.
Doing without her ain't easy, time didn't make me forget
Tonight I'm feeling so lonely, 'cause I'm not over her yet
So many times she's hurt me when she never meant any harm
And I left what I thought was over
But right now I'd come back and melt in her arms.
So many nights I pretended
That she was a doing me wrong
But whatever she's done, oh, it's forgotten
'Cause right now I'd come back and melt in her arms.
Oh yes, right now I'd come back and melt in her arms...
Right Now I'd Come Back and Melt in Her Arms
