Lyrics
I wasn't the prettiest girl in the room
'Til you came along
You said beautiful, I said handsome,
Handsome and strong
You raised me up with your Popeye arms,
I never knew love could be that way
If I knew then what I sure know now
Would've held onto every day
Popeye arms - put me on a pedestal
Popeye arms - love was elemental
Popeye arms - seemed invincible
Popeye arms...
So many lovers beg for a song
'Cause vanity's the name of the game
You never wanted anything else
But a life of love and fair play
We each knew better than the other one did
It was the best test of wills I'd ever been in
I know you're gone but your love lives on
In music I hear every day
Popeye arms - put me on a pedestal
Popeye arms - love was elemental
Popeye arms - seemed invincible
Popeye arms...
(Break)
Couldn't have known what was ahead
How quickly it came to an end
We didn't have long but you showed my worth
And what to expect from a man
My last memory is of your devilish grin,
Green jacket and your hair all a mess
Spinning records for me, love was easy,
Sayin' "Yes, everything, yes"
Popeye arms - put me on a pedestal
Popeye arms - love was elemental
Popeye arms - seemed invincible
Popeye arms...
Popeye arms...
I miss your Popeye Arms...
