Take Her In Your Arms

Have you seen him on the corner? His lips would reach the pavement

He's been hidin' from the razor, is he not an awful sight?

In love he was the purist, now he's frightenin' the tourists

If he'd gone and asked his father, oh, I'm sure he'd set him right

Sayin' take her in your arms, tell her that you love her

Won't you take her in your arms, hold that woman tight?

Won't you take her in your arms and tell her that you love her?

If you're going to love a woman, then be sure to do it right

Now he met her at a disco, in a dive in San Francisco

And it all might have been different, had he seen her in daylight

She was painted, she was scented, but she drove your man demented

If he'd gone and asked his father, oh, I'm sure he'd set him right

Sayin' take her in your arms, tell her that you love her

Won't you take her in your arms, hold that woman tight?

Won't you take her in your arms and tell her that you love her?

Here's a pub with fun and laughter, the landlord's buying bevy

There's a session in the corner, and the craic is grand tonight

But you man who's lost his woman, he's still at home lamentin'

Sayin' take her in your arms, tell her that you love her

Won't you take her in your arms, hold that woman tight?

Won't you take her in your arms and tell her that you love her?

If you're going to love a woman, then be sure to do it right

Now depression's not a million laughs, but suicide's too dangerous

Don't go leapin' out of buildin's in the middle of the night

It's not the fall, but landin' that'll alter social standin'

So go first and ask your father and I'm sure he'll set you right

And their uncles and their grannies for this thing is black and white

Sayin' take her in your arms, tell her that you love her

Won't you take her in your arms, hold that woman tight?'

Won't you take her in your arms and tell her that you love her?
