Back in Baby's Arms

Loretta Lynn · Coal Miner's Daughter [Dynamic] [2005]

(Bob Montgomery - Allen Toussaint)



I'm back in baby's arms

How I've missed those lovin' arms

I'm back where I belong

Back in baby's arms.



Don't know why we quarrel

We never did before

Since we found out how it hurts

I bet we never quarrel anymore.



I'm back in baby's arms

How I've missed those lovin' arms

I'm back where I belong

Back in baby's arms.



--- Instrumental ---



Thought I didn't need his love

Till it was took away

Now I'm back where I belong

in my baby's arms I'm gonna stay.



I'm back in baby's arms

How I've missed those lovin' arms

I'm back where I belong

Back in baby's arms.



Back in baby's arms.

Back in baby's arms...
