These Arms of Mine
Otis Redding Lyrics
These arms of mine, they are lonely
Lonely and feeling blue
These arms of mine, they are yearning
Yearning from wanting you
And if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be
These arms of mine, they are burning
Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine, they are wanting
Wanting to hold you
And if you would let them hold you
Oh how grateful I will be
Come on, come on baby
Just be my little woman
Just be my lover, oh
I need me somebody, somebody to treat me right, oh
I need your arms, loving arms to hold me tight
And I, I, I need your, I need your tender lips, to hold me
Together when I'm right with you

Yearning from wanting you
And if you would let them hold you
Oh, how grateful I will be

Burning from wanting you
These arms of mine, they are wanting
Wanting to hold you
And if you would let them hold you
Oh how grateful I will be
Come on, come on baby
Just be my little woman
Just be my lover, oh
I need me somebody, somebody to treat me right, oh
I need your arms, loving arms to hold me tight
And I, I, I need your, I need your tender lips, to hold me
Together when I'm right with you

Hello everyone: months before Otis Redding was killed in a plane crash along with the barkay band in which only one survived in the 60s , I had the opportunity of backing him up (playing music wile he sang )in a club in Washington DC called the Byrd land ,with the TNT Tribble band. Otis was one great musician, and had a good personality to go with it. He didn't only sing he also had stage present and moves to go along with it. One of his guitar players who still bragg about Otis till this day is very ill and IAM hoping the best for him. There are also songs by Otis that were released after his death that I will try to find and post them later.

How can one dislike the soulful Otis Redding? If he doesn't give you chills then you aren't listening close enough.
