SandraT, you just reminded me a very popular song by Chico Novarro: "Arráncame la vida", that says:
Arráncame la vida de un tirón
que el corazón, ya te lo he dado
apaga uno por uno sus latidos
pero no me lleves al camino del olvido...
The whole lyrics are here:

In Argentina it's also very usual to say "me arrancó un ojo de la cara" meaning something was so expensive I lost one of my eyes!
But as a spanish native I don't understand the expressions "arrancando de una mujer", "arrancando de la lluvia"
