If I smile, dancing alone for a while
Would you rescue me?
And if I fall, hoping it’s in your arms
I know, know, know you’ll rescue me
Hoo-ooh
La la la la da da
Whoa whoa whoa, darling, please rescue me
Hoo-ooh
La la la la da da
Whoa whoa whoa, won’t you please rescue me?
Give your heart, baby, just ease your mind
To see that it’s meant to be
Cause when I’m with you, darling, it’s such a breeze
That I know, know you’ll rescue me
Hoo-ooh
La la la la da da
Whoa whoa whoa, darling, please rescue me
Hoo-ooh
La la la la da da
Whoa whoa whoa, won’t you please rescue me?
And honey, if you see me drowning
Baby, fish me out; I’m falling
I just need a voice for calling
And can’t you see I trust you always?
So I will linger ’til you know
That I will never let you go if you rescue me
If I smile, dancing alone for a while
Would you rescue me?
And if I fall, hoping it’s in your arms
I know, know, know you’ll rescue me
Finding Comfort and Strength in Love

The lyrics paint a picture of longing for reassurance—of wanting someone to be there, to lift you up when you feel alone or in need. Through playful lines like “If I smile, dancing alone for a while, would you rescue me?” Carpenter captures the universal desire to be noticed and cared for. The recurring motifs of “rescue” and trust emphasize the strength that genuine connection brings, while the light-hearted choruses create a sense of ease and optimism. Ultimately, the song is a heartfelt plea for love’s saving grace, wrapped in catchy melodies and earnest emotion.
