Back In Your Arms Again
The Mavericks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once I said I never want your love again
You showed up to night and proved me wrong
Things I said I'll never do since you and I were through
But here I am back in your arms again
I heard from someone that you were back in town
No matter how I tried this love won't be denied
And here I am back in your arms again
Woo here I am back in your arms again
I should know better
Oh what does it matter to a love sick fool
I know I said never but I know forever I'll come back to you
I'll keep coming back to you
I should know better
Oh what does it matter to a love sick fool
I know I said never but I know forever I'll come back to you
I'll keep coming back to you
Once I said I never want your love again
You showed up to night and proved me wrong
Things I said I'll never do since you and I were through
But here I am back in your arms again
