Back In My Arms Again
--words and music by Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.

from "Greatest Hints", 1979, Arista Records


You know all day long
   I hear my telephone ring
Friends calling giving their advice
From the girl I love
I should break away
'Cause heartaches she'll bring some day

I lost her once through my friends' advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause all advice has gotten me
Has been long and sleepless nights

	And now
	She's back in my arms again
	Right by my side
	Ooh, I got her back in my arms again
	So satisfied

It's easy for friends to say
Let her go
But I'm the one
Who needs her so
It's her love that makes me strong

Without her I just can't go on
This time I'll live my life at ease
Being happy lovin' whom I please
And each time we make romance
I'll be happy for a second chance

	And now
	She's back in my arms again
	Right by my side
	Ooh, I got her back in my arms again
	So satisfied

	And now
	She's back in my arms again
	Right by my side
	Ooh, I got her back in my arms again
	So satisfied

Now tell me
How can a buddy tell me what to do
When he lost his love so true?
And Flo, she don't know
The boy she loves is a Romeo

I listened once to my friends' advice
But it's not gonna happen twice
'Cause all advice has gotten me
Has been long and sleepless nights

	And now
	She's back in my arms again
	Right by my side
	Ooh, I got her back in my arms again
	So satisfied

	And now
	She's back in my arms again
	She's right by my side
	Girl, I got you back in my arms again
	So satisfied
	Baby's back in my arms again
