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 peacock, 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
