(E. Holland, B. Holland, L. Dozier)
Take me in your arms
Hold me for a little while, hey baby
I know you're leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you darlin', for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now, I'm feelin' mine
I've tried my best to be strong, I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle
Left me no joy before I grieve
Just one more darlin', before you leave
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
I'm losin' you and my happiness
My life is over, I must confess
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock on my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
I said. "I wouldn't be", I said, "I wouldn't be"
Here I'm, baby, I'm beggin' you please
Baby, please
Baby, please
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Hold me for a little while, hey baby
I know you're leavin' me behind
I'm seein' you darlin', for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now, I'm feelin' mine
I've tried my best to be strong, I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle
Left me no joy before I grieve
Just one more darlin', before you leave
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
I'm losin' you and my happiness
My life is over, I must confess
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock on my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
I said. "I wouldn't be", I said, "I wouldn't be"
Here I'm, baby, I'm beggin' you please
Baby, please
Baby, please
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
Take me in your arms
Rock me, rock me a little while
