It was one song, one dance, one night we had the chanceYou reached out and took my hand and we fell in step to the rhythm of the bandAnd I couldn't tell you what they played, but I knew it was a waltz from the way that you swayedWe crossed that room, all my feet moved right along, and I didn't see no harmSo I just let go, and I let you hold me for a songKeep me steady in your arms and I rest in my troubled mindOn the firmness of your shoulder, oh, you pulled me closer with every beatAnd I let you leaveOh, you knew just how to hold meWith a hand on the small of my back, pressing ever so gently against meSuch a reassuring touch, two hands that I could trustTo carry the world just for a little whileSo I could be free, so I could be free, so I could be freeTo close my eyes and let someone else decideCause I'm so damn tired of having to be the oneWho always has it under controlSo I just let go, and I let you hold me for a songKeep me steady in your arms and I rest in my troubled mindOn the firmness of your shoulder, oh, you pulled me closer with every beatOn the firmness of your shoulder, oh, you pulled me closer with every beatAnd I let you leaveCause everyone needs a strong man sometimesSo I won't apologizeFor being weak and weakFor being weak tonightAnd I'll be there saving your armsSo I just let go, and I let you hold me for a songKeep me steady in your arms and I rest in my troubled mindOn the firmness of your shoulder, oh, you pulled me closer with every beatAnd I let you leaveTo rest in my troubled mindAnd I let you leave*
