I Hold You In My Arms
I want to read your mind and know just what I've got in this new thing I've found
So tell me what do I see when I look in your eyes
Is that you, baby, or just the brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your name
From underneath a willow
I saw something tucked in shape
Underneath your pillow
Well, I tried so hard, baby
But I just can't see
What a woman like you
Is doing with me
So tell me what do I see
When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
Is that you, baby, or just the brilliant disguise
Now look at me, baby
Struggling to do everything right
And when it all falls apart
Oh, when I go to the lights
I'm just a fool
I'm just a lonely pilgrim
I want this world and wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust
Cause I damn sure don't trust myself
Now you play the loving woman
I play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
Into the palm of my hand
All these times I've been waiting for you

But at the altar
The gypsy swore our future was bright
But come the way we are
Or maybe, baby, the gypsy lied
So when you look at me, baby
You better look hard and look twice
Is that me, baby
Or just the brilliant disguise?
Tonight our bed is cold
Lost in the darkness of love
God have mercy on the man
Who does what he's sure of
The way we're not used to
I'm just a sly thug
