I was lying in her arms, not a word I said was true
I held her close to me but was wishing it was you
I was looking in her eyes but I wanted you instead
I was lying in her arms, I never meant a word I said

I was lying in her arms, yes I know that it was wrong
I was trying to forget how you left me all alone
I didn't mean to hurt her but somehow I think she knew
I was lying in her arms pretending it was you

She stood by me through long lonely nights
When you did me wrong, she did me right

Now I'm lying in her arms and I've come to love her so
She's been good to me and I'll never let her go
And now you want me back, well I don't think you can see
I'm lying in her arms 'cause that's where I want to be
Yes, I'm lying in her arms 'cause that's where I want to be
