Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If tonight's the night, then today's my day
That I should hang it all on display
But yours is just a loser's game
And I decided that I should play
[Verse 2]
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
[Verse 3]
I felt the wind's direction bringin' change
Clouds so softly full of rain
And summer fell and the winter sprang
Now it's all a feelin' I can't get back again
[Verse 4]
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Oh, throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
[Verse 5]
Cloudy thoughts against the clear blue sky
When the feeling came I felt like getting high
With no sense to try to find my peace of mind
'Cause maybe, baby, I was born to win, dissatisfied
[Verse 6]
And you know you don't care if you live or die, so
[Verse 7]
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget, no, no, no
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
[Verse 8]
Come on and
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
Come on, come on, come on
Throw your arms around my neck
I won't be soon to forget
[Verse 9]
Not gonna have a rest
[Verse 10]
Throw your arms around my neck
Oh, hold me, hold me, hold me
I won't be soon to forget
Gotta get out of my life
Throw your arms around my neck
Come on, come on, now, child
I won't be soon to forget
