Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must have been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I keep lookin' for somethin' I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way to get out of this Her diary, it sits by the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away Is there any just cause for feelin' like this? On the surface, I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet, but then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over, the moment has gone I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away
