Back in Baby's Arms
Tammy Wynette · My Elusive Dreams (David Houston & Tammy Wynette) [Epic] [1967]
I'm back in baby's arms
How I've missed those loving 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'll bet we never quarrel anymore.
I'm back in baby's arms
How I've missed those loving arms
I'm back where I belong
Back in baby's arms.
I'm back in baby's arms
How I've missed those loving arms
I'm back where I belong
Back in baby's arms.
Thought I didn't need his love
Till he took it away
Now I'm back where I belong
I'm in my baby's arms and I'm gonna stay.
I'm back in baby's arms
How I've missed those loving arms
I'm back where I belong
Back in baby's arms.
I'm back in baby's arms
How I've missed those loving arms
I'm back where I belong
Back in baby's arms...
