I know you're leaving, leaving me behind.
I'm seeing you, darling, for the very last time.
Show a little tenderness, mama, before you go.
Please let me feel your embrace once more.

Take me in your arms.
Rock me, rock me a little while.  (Take me, take me.)
Oh, with you, darling.
Rock me, rock me a little while.

We all must feel heartaches sometime.
Right now, right now, I'm feeling mine.

I tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able.
I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle.
Before you leave me, leave me far behind,
Please let me be happy one more time.

Take me in your arms.
Rock me, rock me a little while.  (Take me, take me.)
Oh, with you, darling.
Rock me, rock me a little while.

I'm losing you and my happiness.
My life is so dark.
I must confess.

I'll never ever see your smiling face once more.
I'll never ever hear you knock upon my door.
Before you leave, leave me behind,
Please let me be happy one more time.

Take me in your arms.  
Rock me, rock me a little while.  (Take me, take me.)
Oh, with you, baby.
Rock me, rock me a little while.
Ohhh, yeah, yeah.

(Guitar solo)

I'm begging you, baby.  (Take me, take me.)
Oh, baby, I'm pleading.  (Take me, take me.)
Come on, baby.  (Take me, take me.)
Can't you see I'm in my knees now.  (Take me, take me, baby.)
Come on, baby.  (Take me, take me.)
Baby, help me please, yeah.  (Take me, take me.)
Coming for you, baby.  (Take me, take me, yeah.)
Oh baby, please, please, please, please.

Take me in your arms.
Rock me, rock me a little while.  (Take me, take me.)
Oh, with you, darling.
Rock me, rock me a little while.  (Oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Come on, baby.  (Take me in your arms.)
Rock me, rock me a little while.  (Take me, take me.)
Oh, with you, darling.  
Rock me, rock me a little while.  (Oh, oh, oh, oh.)
Oh, oh, come on, baby.  (Take me in your arms.)
Rock me, rock me a little while.  (Take me, take me.)
Oh, oh, ho, with you, darling.
