Shouldn't love be easy
Why's it seem so hard
I wish something could keep me
From being torn apart
But I guess there's no mercy for your roaming in the dark
Words whispered so sweetly don't show you what they really are
Without realizing
Oh I laid down in the arms of a lion
My defenseless heart gave in without even trying
I just closed my eyes and I laid down
In the arms of a lion
I couldn't see the danger
No sign said "stay away"
I should have run for cover
I should have been afraid
But he was so strong it made me so weak
I felt so safe with him I just couldn't see
Without realizing
Oh I laid down in the arms of a lion
My defenseless heart gave in without even trying
Just curled up beside him and I laid down
In the arms of a lion
There is no salvation to be found in
The arms of a lion
Without realizing
Oh I laid down in the arms of a lion
My defenseless heart gave in without even trying
I thought it was love when I laid down, I laid down
In the arms of a lion, in the arms of a lion
