Girl, I'd be lying if I promised you Every word I ever said was true But I can promise you this: I'm gonna fall--blown over like a ship at sea By the howling sins of history Oh, but don't you forget To hold up my arms Like Moses in the desert When the battle ran long Hold up my arms We can go at this together When my arms aren't strong I want you to know that I'm prouder than a peaco*k, babe You light me up just like a birthday cake When you walk in the room And I just wanna make you proud So, baby, when I let you down What I need you to do Is hold up my arms Like Moses in the desert When the battle ran long Hold up my arms We can go at this together When my arms aren't strong Girl, I'd be lying if I promised you Every word I ever said was true But I can promise you this: I'll do my best to try and do my very best for you It's the very best that I can do It's the best I can give So hold up my arms I said hold up my arms Like Moses in the desert When the battle ran long Hold up my arms We can go at this together When my arms aren't strong
