Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms

This was written by Cutting Crew lead singer Nick Van Eede, who mentioned it was inspired by a real relationship.

"Yes, I cannot tell a lie. It's a song written about my girlfriend (who is actually the mother of my daughter). We got back together for one night after a year apart and I guess there were some fireworks but all the time tinged with a feeling of 'should I really be doing this?' Hence the lyric, 'I should have walked away.' I know it sounds corny but I awoke that morning and wrote the basic lyrics within an hour and wrote and recorded the demo completely within three days." Lyrics Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight I keep looking for something I can't get Broken hearts lie all around me And I don't see an easy way To get out of this Her diary sits by the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cat's in her cradle Who would've thought That a boy like me could come to this? Oh-oh-oh, whoa Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh-oh-oh, whoa Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away Is there any just cause for feeling like this? On the surface, I'm a name on a list I try to be discreet But then blow it again I've lost and found, it's my final mistake She's loving by proxy, no give and all take 'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy One too many times Oh-oh-oh, whoa Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away It was a long hot night She made it easy, she made it feel right But now it's over, the moment is gone I followed my hands, not my head I know I was wrong Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh, I, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been some kind of kiss I should've walked away I should've walked away
