[Verse 1]
Oh, this time I won't listen to your small petty troubles to someone else
You should feel half as sorry for her as you're feeling for yourself
Don't you know what I'd give to live like you live with her and to hold me tight?
Yes, I know what it's like in her arms, I was just there last night

[Chorus]
I know what it's like in her arms, I was just there last night
And the next time that you do her wrong, I'll be back there to do her right
Just because that you ration your loving don't lessen her appetite
Yes, I know what it's like in her arms, I was just there last night

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Oh, how long do you think she'll go on throwing fights and letting you win?
How long will it be 'til she's plum given out from giving in?
If I was a-walking in your shoes, I'd sure be stepping light
'cause I know what it's like in her arms, I was just there last night

[Chorus]
Oh, I know what it's like in her arms, I was just there last night
And the next time that you do her wrong, I'll be back there to do her right
Just because that you ration your loving don't lessen her appetite
Yes, I know what it's like in her arms, I was just there last night
Yes, I know what it's like in her arms, I was just there last night
