Keep your head up baby
Don't look so blue
There's times meant for me and you to share

And I've been thinking lately
'Bout what's troubling you
And I think I know
But I still don't care

Because loving arms like yours
Will go to waste on a man like me
All of your crying will surely make you
A slave to your misery

Here comes the sad part
You'd be a fool
To squander the trust of a man who's untrue
And if you're heart is breaking
So is mine too
I'm wrapping this up as my gift to you

Because loving arms like yours
Will only go to waste on a man like me
All of your crying will surely make you
A slave to your misery
Baby I'm trying not to jerk you around
It'll only be harder on you
I'm trying not to find a way out
Of the mess we have gotten ourselves into
Put it all behind you
Oh yeah

[Guitar Solo]

Because loving arms like yours
Will only go waste on a man like me
All of your crying will surely make you
A slave to your misery
All of your crying will surely make you
A slave to your misery

I didn't mean to
But I think I made you
A slave to your misery
