You've been hurt before
And it left scars I cannot see
You made a wall so high

For heart I cannot reach
Our chemistry, we can't deny it
So why do you try to fight it?

With open arms I'll guide you through the fire
But I just need a little loving, I just need a little loving
With open arms my love will take you higher
And you know, I never ask for nothing, I just need a little loving

I've seen you ghost of pain
And form a shell made of steel
But everybody needs somebody
So why don't you tell me how you feel?
'Cause we got history, we can't deny it
So why do you try to fight it?

'Cause with open arms I'll guide you through the fire
But I just need a little loving, I just need a little loving
With open arms my love will take you higher
And you know, I never ask for nothing, I just need a little loving
With open arms I'll guide you through the fire
No, I never ask you, I never ask for nothing
With open arms my love will take you higher
And I just need a little loving, I just need a little loving

We go around in circles
No future set in stone
But we need to cross these troubled waters
Round we go, emotions, round and round we go
Oh, no no

And you know I never ask for nothing

'Cause with open arms I'll guide you through the fire
You know, I never ask for nothing, I just need a little loving
With open arms my love will take you higher
And you know, I never ask for nothing, I just need a little loving
