I do not want to be arguing with Jack. He did not approve of my earlier choice for today’s SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY theme. Yes, I will admit, his choice is better than mine. But I am allowed to choose which songs to feature – am I not!
I told Jack that I had a feeling that were would be a lot of songs about being in the arms of your loved one – which is wonderful. I was just trying to think a little outside of the box. But he still would have preferred to feature a song that was worthy of more credit in his eyes. Jack can be very persuasive when he wants to be. I kind of like him being bossy about stuff like this. It gives me plenty of opportunities to tease him.
Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: ARMS/ELBOWS/KNEES/LEGS
Because I love Jack, I am going to overlook his criticism. This is his top pick for today’s SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY. He has chosen “Died In Your Arms” by Cutting Crew, undeniably a superb track. We are not going to argue about whether Jack or I has better taste in music. (He would win that one I am afraid.)
I am not going to argue about anything with him…because I love being in Jack’s arms.
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
I keep looking for something 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 sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat’s in her cradle
Who would’ve thought
That a boy like me could come to this?
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
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 feeling 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-oh-oh, whoa
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 is 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
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
