I find that many alternative first dance songs seem to have extra cute or funny lyrics. There’s a line in here about Rogaine?, which keeps this potential first dance song light and happy.
If you find a song you love here, but already have your first wedding dance song picked out, think cocktail music or cake cutting. Also, if you’re not one to be in the spotlight for very long, you’ll probably love that this song is barely over two minutes long. Would be great for a short reception if you’re trying to keep your traditions to a minimum, or combined with another first dance song that you love. Remember, your wedding DJ can fade it out wherever you like.

Ingrid Michaelson “The Way I Am” lyrics
If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I’d find a match.
Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.
If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I’ll make it better.
Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.
I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
I love this, it’s such a sweet song, and so fitting for a first dance!
