Mm-mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm

Empty arms that long for you

And they wait, they wait just for you

And these arms will stay this way

Till you return to them some day

Each lonely night I’ll go to bed

Mm-My heart the pillow where you used to lay your head

Empty arms, but not for long

'cause my man, he is comin' home

And when he, when he walks through that door

These empty arms I’ll have no more

Yeah, these empty arms I’ll have no more
