Wrapped up

Baby
Oh-oh-oh...

I'd like to go to Nassau or Jamaica
Take off on a place for Paris, France
But if I could do only one place, baby
It's with you that I'd take my chance

It's you
That I long for
It's you
That I'm dreaming of
It's you
Satisfying me
I got this feeling
Cause you make me feel loved

Wrapped up in your arms, baby
That's where I wanna be
Wrapped up in your arms, sweet darling
It's the only place for me

Wrapped up in your arms, baby
That's where I wanna be
Wrapped up in your arms, sweet darling
It's the only place for me
The only place for me, uh-huh

I wish that I could always have you near me
I wish that I could be right by your side
Well, at least this love affair has never pleased me
Too many lonely nights I've cried

But, baby
It's you that I long for
It's you that I'm dreaming of
Baby, it's you satisfying me
I got this feeling
Cause you make me feel loved
I wanna be...

Wrapped up in your arms, baby
That's where I wanna be
Wrapped up in your arms, sweet darling
It's the only place for me

Wrapped up in your arms, baby
That's where I wanna be
Wrapped up in your arms, sweet lover
It's the only place for me

I tell you
It's you that I long for
It's you that I'm dreaming of
I tell you
It's you satisfying me
I got this feeling
Cause you make me feel loved

Wrapped up in your arms, baby
That's where I wanna be
(Said, I wanna be)
Wrapped up in your arms, sweet darling
It's the only place for me
(I wanna be)

Wrapped up in your arms, baby
(Wrapped up, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...)
That's where I wanna be
(Said, I'd like to be)
Wrapped up in your arms, sweet darling
It's the only place for me
