Late night watching TV Used to be you here beside me Used to be your arms around me Your body on my body When the world means nothing to me Another's arms, another's arms When the pain just rips right through me Another's arms, another's arms Late night watching TV Used to be you here beside me Is there someone there to reach me? Or someone there to find me When the pain just rips right through me Another's arms, another's arms And this's just torture to me Another's arms, another's arms Pull yourself into me Another's arms, another's arms Love means nothing to me Another's arms, another's arms Got to pull you close into me Another's arms, another's arms Pull yourself right through me Another's arms, another's arms Late night watching TV Wish that you were here beside me Wish that your arms were around me Your body on my body
