Your arms around me
How can I complain
With your arms around me
Uhm, I know I'm a lucky man

With your arms around me
Honey, I'm taller than a tree
So all I can say is
Keep those arms around me

When I woke up this morning
Oh, I had an aching head
The pain was so great
Uhm, I almost fell out of bed

Then you put your arms around me
Then you kiss me three times
And in a matter of seconds
I never felt so fine, oh no, oh yes I did

With your arms around me
I can feel no no no no pain
With your arms around me
Uhm, I know I'm the worlds strongest man

With your arms around me, yeah
If I was blind I know that I could see, oh now
All I can say is
Keep those loving arms around me
Oh now, oh now, oh now
