It was one song, one dance, one night we had the chance
You reached out and took my hand and we fell in step to the rhythm of the band
And I couldn't tell you what they played, but I knew it was a waltz from the way that you swayed
We crossed that room, all my feet moved right along, and I didn't see no harm
So I just let go, and I let you hold me for a song
Keep me steady in your arms and I rest in my troubled mind
On the firmness of your shoulder, oh, you pulled me closer with every beat
And I let you leave
Oh, you knew just how to hold me
With a hand on the small of my back, pressing ever so gently against me
Such a reassuring touch, two hands that I could trust
To carry the world just for a little while
So I could be free, so I could be free, so I could be free

To close my eyes and let someone else decide
Cause I'm so damn tired of having to be the one
Who always has it under control
So I just let go, and I let you hold me for a song
Keep me steady in your arms and I rest in my troubled mind
On the firmness of your shoulder, oh, you pulled me closer with every beat

On the firmness of your shoulder, oh, you pulled me closer with every beat
And I let you leave
Cause everyone needs a strong man sometimes
So I won't apologize
For being weak and weak
For being weak tonight
And I'll be there saving your arms
So I just let go, and I let you hold me for a song
Keep me steady in your arms and I rest in my troubled mind
On the firmness of your shoulder, oh, you pulled me closer with every beat
And I let you leave
To rest in my troubled mind
And I let you leave
