Text: Doobie Brothers. Stampede. Take Me In Your Arms.
I know you're leavin, 'leavin' me behind;
I'm seein' you, darlin', for the very last time.
Show a little tenderness, mama, before you go;
Please let me feel your embrace once more .
Take me in your arms, rock me, rock me a little while,
oh, with you, darlin', rock me, rock me a little while.
We all must feel heartache sometime;
right now, right now I'm feelin' mine.
I tried my best to be strong but I'm not able;
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle.
Before you leave me, mama, leave me far behind,
please let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms, rock me, rock me a little while,
oh, with you, darlin', rock me, rock me a little while.
I'm losin' you and my happiness;
my life is so dark, I must confess.
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more;
I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door.
Before you leave me, leave me behind,
please let me feel happy one more time.
Take me in your arms, rock me, rock me a little while,
oh, with you, baby, rock me, rock me a little while.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm beggin' little baby, (take me)
oh, baby, please, yeah, (take me, take me, take me)
c'mon baby, (take me)
can't you see me on my knees now? (take me, take me, take me)
C'mon baby, (take me)
baby, help please, (take me, take me, take me)
Comin' to ya' baby, (take me)
Oh, baby, please, please, please...
Take me in your arms, rock me, rock me a little while,
oh, with you, darlin', rock me, rock me a little while.
C'mon baby, rock me, rock me a little while,
oh, with you, darlin', rock me, rock me a little while.
Repeat and fade
