i only call when i ve had that one too many and my lonely room goes spinning in a whirl and tonight i couldn t even find my pillow i ve got the emptiest arms in the world i no longer wear the gold band on my finger and from time to time i find myself a girl but when i realize that she s not you i m holding i ve got the emptiest arms in the world empty arms won t ever hold you close again and these cheap hotels they re like a prison cell that keeps closing in and you alone can fill this lonely feeling of the emptiest arms in the world and you alone can fill this lonely feeling of the emptiest arms in the world
