Back in Your Arms Lyrics by Wilson Pickett

Hey Jude

0

[Verse 1]
When I first met you, baby
Heaven knows I was out in the cold
With my suitcase in my hand
And no place to go
[Verse 2]
But here's what you've done, you took me in
Even when you wasn't able
You pawn your best clothes
So, we could have food on the table
[Chorus]
I wish I was back (Wish I was back in your arms)
In your arms again, baby (Wish I was back in your arms)
For I would never
Find another woman like you nowhere
[Verse 3]
But look here, you know every time I see you with him
It just tear me up inside
Knowing that he got everything, everything I once had
It just make me wanna break down and cry
[Verse 4]
But I should have thought about it
Before I left
I can't blame you, baby
I brought it all on myself
[Chorus]
And that's why I wish I was back, Lord, have mercy (Wish I was back in your arms)
In your arms one more time (Wish I was back in your arms)
Oh, what would I do, what would I do
To see your smiling face one more time?
Oh, if I was back, yeah (Wish I was back in your arms)
In your arms one more time, baby (Wish I was back in your arms)
Heaven knows, heaven knows
I won't make that same mistake no more
[Outro]
Oh, I wish I was back (Wish I was back in your arms)
In your arms again, baby (Wish I was back in your arms)
