About (I Just) Died In Your Arms

It was their biggest hit, peaking at #1 in the United States, Canada and Norway, and reaching the Top Five in the UK, South Africa, Sweden and Switzerland. The words "I just died in your arms tonight" originally came to Van Eede while he was having sex with his girlfriend, "death" being an often-used metaphor for orgasm.

(I Just) Died In Your Arms Lyrics

[00:15.36] Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
[00:21.36] It must have been something you said
[00:24.51] I just died in your arms tonight
[00:28.65]
[00:38.90] I keep looking for something I can't get
[00:43.03] Broken hearts lie all around me
[00:46.12] And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
[00:53.77] Her diary it sits by the bedside table
[00:57.52] The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
[01:01.83] Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this?
[01:07.84] Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
[01:15.04] It must've been something you said
[01:18.59] I just died in your arms tonight
[01:23.29] Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
[01:30.59] It must've been some kind of kiss
[01:34.26] I should've walked away
[01:38.57] I should've walked away
[01:41.47]
[01:51.33] Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
[01:55.94] On the surface I'm a name on a list
[01:58.84] I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
[02:06.62] I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
[02:10.57] She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
[02:14.38] 'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
[02:20.80] Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
[02:28.04] It must've been something you said
[02:31.31] I just died in your arms tonight
[02:37.07] Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
[02:43.56] It must've been some kind of kiss
[02:47.27] I should've walked away
[02:51.67] I should've walked away
[02:54.63] It was a long hot night
[02:57.00] And she made it easy, she made it feel right
[03:01.13] But now it's over, the moment has gone
[03:04.40] I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong
[03:10.30]
[03:23.72] Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
[03:29.43] It must've been something you said
[03:32.94] I just died in your arms tonight
[03:36.87]
[03:39.44] I, I just died in your arms tonight
[03:44.81] It must've been some kind of kiss
[03:48.57] I should've walked away
[03:52.99] I should've walked away
[03:54.51]
