My Arms Stay Open All Night - Tanya Tucker

I saw you coming from a mile away Trying to hide behind that pretty face Bet my last dollar, baby, you been bruised Poor little heart all black 'n' blue Last thing you need's another pickup line You must have heard them all a thousand times God only knows what you been through Believe me I been broken too It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away I've been around that block a time or two, baby I don't wanna fall in love with you I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth Please, don't say my name, give this heart a break I don't wanna make the same mistakes but it's too late I'll leave on the light These arms are open all night I got your taste in the back of my mouth I want to reach in and pull it out And I'd be lying if I didn't say When you're this close I'm afraid Of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair The way I'll miss you when you're not there And that I'll see you when I close my eyes It's too late, I've crossed that line It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away I'll still be around come closing time I don't want to fall in love with you I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth Please don't say my name, give this heart a break I don't want to make the same mistakes but it's too late I'll leave on the light These arms are open all night It's 2 am, it's last call, baby.

You can't go home if you're goin' by the mill 'Cause the bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill The Big Creek's up and the Little Creek's level I plow my corn with a double shovel Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner I don't see why you can't stay a little longer Sittin' in the window, singin' to my love Slop bucket fell from the window above Mule and the grasshopper eatin' ice cream Mule got sick, so they laid him on the green Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner I don't see why you can't stay a little longer Well, you ought to see my Blue-Eyed Sally She lives a-way down on Shinbone Alley The number on the gate, number on the door The next house over is the grocery store Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner I don't see why you can't stay a little longer Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner I don't see why you don't stay a little longer Don't see why you can't stay a little longer
