A girl who lives on the safer side of old romantic dreams fears
Unless she drifts with emotion's tide, she won't know what love means
And she knows, (sometimes)
That it's right, (sometimes)
But just anytime is no good
And she wants, (somebody)
She needs, (somebody)
Just like, (anybody would)
Oh, anybody would
She needs somebody's arms around her tight
Somebody's arms to hold her through the night
Oh yeah
But faithfully she waits for love in the right somebody's arms
A young man poised on the border of integrity's reward
Wonders if the boys think he's man enough for passions unexplored
And he knows, (sometimes)
That it's right, (sometimes)
But just anytime is no good
And he wants, (somebody)
He needs, (somebody)
Just like, (anybody would)
Oh, anybody would
He needs somebody's arms around him tight
Somebody's arms to hold him through the night
Whoa yeah
But faithfully he waits for love in the right somebody's arms
And you know, (sometimes)
That it's right, (sometimes)
But just anytime's no good
And you want, (somebody)
You need, (somebody)
Just like, (anybody would)
Oh, anybody would
You need somebody's arms around you tight
Somebody's arms to hold you through the night, (around you tight)
Oh yeah, in faithfully ordained love, (hold you through the night)
Somebody's arms around you tight
Somebody's arms to hold you through the night, (around you tight)
Oh yeah, (hold you through the night)
Keep holding out for real love in the right somebody's arms, oh yeah
