My Arms Keep Missing You
Caught in the Act Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My arms keep missing you
Who's been kissing you
Since you went away
My arms keep missing you
I keep wishing you'd come back today

You know I've been so lonely every night
Since you went away

Would you let me down any night
Is that the way you're made girl

I keep telling myself it's all right
Even though I cry
There's no question why
How could I be happy when

My arms keep missing you
Who's been kissing you
Since you went away
My arms keep missing you
I keep wishing you'd come back today

You said you wouldn't hurt me any way
And I believed in you

We said we'd trust each other every day
We'd never be untrue

We'd never be untrue
We vowed to remain loyal and committed to each other
