Violent Femmes — I Held Her in My Arms

[Verse 1] I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burnt And I'm learning things that I should've already learnt Everyone I ever knew was so kind and coy I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy [Chorus] I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms I held her in my arms but it wasn't you [Verse 2] I will not kill the one thing I love In this world of wreckage, I look above Help me, Lord, help me understand What it means to be a boy and what it means to be a man [Chorus] I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms I held her in my arms but it wasn't you [Verse 3] I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burnt And I'm learning things that I should've already learnt Everyone I ever knew was so kind and coy I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy [Chorus] I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms I held her in my arms but it wasn't you I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms I held her in my arms but it wasn't you
