Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So glad, so glad, so glad

So glad, so glad, to be back in your arms

Thank you, baby (Thank you, baby)

(Thank you, baby, back where I belong)

[Verse 2]

Oh, I went out to do my thing

And I was totally rejected

I put you down for love, I know

But it wasn't what I expected

So frightened and confused

I came runnin' back to you

I got right down on my knees

And said, "Darlin', won't you please?"

I don't know why you did it

But I'm not too proud to admit it, baby

[Verse 3]

Thank you, baby

Thank you, baby

(Back where I belong)

It's great to be here

(Great to be here)

Ooh-hoo, it's great to be here in your arms

(Back where I belong)

[Verse 4]

(Woo) Adventure grabbed my heart

And took me away from you, honey

I met all kinds of pretty girls in every town that I passed through

But that fiery señorita burned me down in Mexico

And I got kisses cold as ice, from my Alaskan Eskimo

I feel guilty and ashamed, but I'm gonna say it just the same, baby

[Verse 5]

Thank you, baby

Thank you, baby

(Back where I belong)

Shh, yeah

It's great to be here

(Great to be here)

Ooh, it's great to be here in your arms

[Verse 6]

(Now yes says señorita)

(She gave me, 'I'll just see ya')

While kissing in the igloo

My Eskimo said, "Noo, noo"

[Verse 7]

Yeah, baby

(So glad) So glad (So glad), so glad (So glad)

(To be back in your arms)

It's great to be here

(Great to be here)

It's great to be here in your arms

(Back where I belong)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh

It's great to be here

(Great to be here) Ooh

It's great to be here in your arms

Yeah, baby

(Back where I belong)

It's great to be here

(Great to be here)

It's great to be here in your arms

(Back where I belong)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah

It's great to be here

(Great to be here)

It's great to be here in your arms

(Back where I belong)

I'm so glad

It's great to be here

(Great to be here) Ooh

It's great to be here in your arms
