Go on look down your righteous nose at me
But you've made me everything that I've turned out to be
In very few words I can tell you where everything went wrong
Two arms two lips too lonely too long
Two arms that almost died from loneliness
Two lips that cried from hunger for your kiss
For too many ompty nights I laid awake till dawn two arms two lips too lonely too long
[ fiddle - steel ]
You'll never know how much it hurts to know you've never
tried
To wake all over for your touch and then be denied
With other arms were offered me it was easy to go wrong
Two arms two lips too lonely too long
Two arms that almost died...
Two arms two lips too lonely too long
