In My Arms Tonight Lyrics - If The World Was You - J.d. Souther

That chip upon your shoulder 

Makes you seem much older 

But you're just a kid in dangerous disguise 

I know where you've been sleeping 

And you really should be weeping 

For every time you never caught the prize 

I don't wanna kiss you and I don't really miss you 

You say that you're not ready and you're right 

Still I want you in my arms tonight 

And you jump hidden dangers 

You run up to perfect strangers 

You know more than you'll ever realize 

You wanna be my girlfriend 

It's like standing in a whirlwind 

Though this might truly cut us down to size 

I don't wanna kiss you, I don't really miss you 

You're either out too loose or in too tight 

Still I want you in my arms tonight, tonight 

You make me think of Anna Beth 

With pretty feet and perfect breath 

I got on the boat and she stayed on the shore 

Now the world around me is sinking 

But I'm no worse off than I'd be thinking 

That it's you who's knocking at my door 

Baby, I don't wanna kiss you much 

I don't really miss your touch 

Now that's just not right, here I want you in my arms 

I can feel you in my arms tonight, tonight
