Open Arms

Mm, yeah, hey, hey, mm

Listen baby, it's been a while since I've talked to you
And you've talked to me
So this song is especially for you and I
Listen closely, baby

Why can't we sit by the fireplace and play telepathy?
I wanna read your mind and see if you're thinkin' about me
It's been a while since I've sat down and expressed the way that I feel
Girl, but I'm about to cry 'cause it's too late and the pain is real

And it's too much to bare
And I'm so awfully scared
I need someone who feels me
I need someone who loves me

Why do I stay a while with you?
We can confess what we've been through
To one another, to each other
There's nothing I'll keep from you

Why don't you reach and grab my hand?
I'll be the one who understands
You can count on me, I won't do you wrong
I'll be here with open arms

You can count on me
I'll be here with open arms

But, the way that you were talking you is telling me
That you're just so hurt (so hurt)
Your insinuations are screaming to me
That you're really hurt (so hurt)
I wanna be a mechanic and
Fix everything that is wrong (fix everything)
For you to be crying and feeling so down
Baby, that's so wrong

And it's too much to bare, yeah
You seem so awfully scared
You need someone who feels you
You need someone who loves you

Why do I stay a while with you?
We can confess what we've been through
To one another to each other
There's nothing I'll keep from you

Why don't you reach and grab my hand?
I'll be the one who understands
You can count on me, I won't do you wrong
I'll be here with open arms

We'll need no more
We have each other and love will endure
No pain just love
With you, that's all I see and I think of

And for you, I'll give my right and left arm
I'll forever be a man who won't do you wrong
Forever love you that's no question
(You're the one, girl, I'm confessing) I'm confessing

Why don't I stay a while with you? (Why don't I stay?)
We can confess what we've been through (we can confess)
To one another to each other (huh, huh)
There's nothing I'll keep from you (nothing I'll keep)

Why don't you reach and grab my hand (Why don't I reach)
I'll be the one who understands (only the one)
You can count on me (count on me)
I won't do you wrong (do you wrong)
I'll be here with open arms (I'll be here with open arms)

(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah) you can count on me
I'll be here with open arms
You can count on me
I'll be here with open arms

Oh yes, I will, yes, I will
I'll be here with open arms
