Talking on the phone and watching "Cribs"He doesn't know what kind of guy he isHe's got a gold-plated ceiling and a TV showA broken heart and he doesn't even knowHe's glad to see you, yes, he's glad to see youOpen your arms and singThe world's been waiting, they've been waiting for yearsAnd they've just gotta hear itThe kids are waiting, they've been shedding tearsSo open your arms and sing for us The world can be quiet when you're up too lateI'm just a childhood prisoner of the garden gateIf it's broke then kick it, dust yourself offFind a quiet place and have a good laughI'm glad to see youYes, I'm glad to see you Open your arms and singThe world's been waiting, they've been waiting for yearsAnd they've just gotta hear itThe kids are waiting, they've been shedding tearsSo open your arms and sing for us
