Lyrics The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs

Never in My Arms, Always in My Heart

By then she'd sang in every bar

And when the world's a nope she'd ask the stars

If they'd ever thought of setting her up

And he was only half a man

He never really watched the news

I guess they fell in love, if you could call it that

And for a couple of years, all smooth things went

But desperate people, they go to desperate measures

But she so badly wanted kids

She said, "It's what I'm meant to do"

And he tells her, "All I want to do is stand next to you

All I want to do is stand next to you"

Well you need to get on top of me

(All I want to do is stand next to you)

And do this thing before I'm fifty

And dry as a bone

(All I want to do is stand next to you)

I may as well be alone

Oh, I hate you so

Oh then we were sitting there

When the doc came in

I gripped my chair, he said

"I'm afraid I have some bad news

Though he'll never be in your arms

He'll always be in your heart"

Oh, if I could only give my breath to you

Watch you crawl around and stand next to you

Oh, if I could only give my breath to you

Watch you crawl around and stand next to you

Oh, if I could only give my breath to you

Watch you crawl around and stand right there next to you

To you, oh da-da-da-da-da-da

Ohhhhhhh, da-da-da-da-da

Ohhhhhhh

Never in my arms, always in my heart

Never in my arms
