Take me in your arms
Hold me for a while, hey baby

I know you're leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you, darling, for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me just a little while

We all must feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now I'm feeling mine
I tried my best to be strong, I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle
Let me know joy before I grieve
Just once more, darling, before you leave

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me just a little while

I'm losing you and my happiness
My life is over, I must confess
I'll never, never see your smilin' face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock on my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy just one more time

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me just a little while

I said I would beg, I said I would plead
Here I am, baby; I'm beggin' you please
Baby please, baby please

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me just a little while

Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Oh, darling, rock me just a little while
