Oh, 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, it sits by the bedside table The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this Oh, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh, 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, I just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh, 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 just died in your arms tonight It must've been something you said I just died in your arms tonight Oh, 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

A letra foi inspirada em uma frase dita pelo vocalista Nick Van Eede durante um encontro sexual com sua ex-namorada
A canção utiliza o conceito de "la petite mort" como metáfora para a transcendência sexual e o conflito interno do amor avassalador
Tornou-se o primeiro single número um nos Estados Unidos tanto para a banda Cutting Crew quanto para a gravadora Virgin Records
A música alcançou o topo das paradas em 16 países, incluindo Canadá e Finlândia, mas parou apenas no quarto lugar no Reino Unido
Foi incluída na trilha sonora de produções como Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, The Lego Batman Movie e a série Stranger Things
O sucesso comercial da faixa consolidou a reputação da banda como um exemplo de "one-hit wonder" na década de 1980
