The hit-streak kick-started what would become one of the most successful duos of country history. For four consecutive years (1972–1975), Lynn and Twitty were named the "Vocal Duo of the Year" by the Country Music Association. In addition to their five Number 1 singles, they had seven other Top 10 hits between 1976 and 1981.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And carefully said
I'm just not that kind of girl
You might think I'm square
'Cause you've been around and you're wise
In the ways of the world
It's all easy come, easy go
He pulled me close and whispered
Now darlin' there's something I want you to know
I still believe in Waltzes
And girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs
In the good, in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings
Somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in Waltzes
And dancing the last one with you
He slipped into bed, I turned over and said
I'm worried you working so late
Is it just your job that keeps you away, Lord
I know the temptations are gray
I'm just a wife, I'm just a momma
It's not too exciting I know
He pulled me close and whispered those same words
He told me that night long ago
I still believe in Waltzes
And girls with old fashioned ways
I still believe in love songs
In the good, in the good ole days
I've always liked happy endings
Somebody's dream coming true
I still believe in Waltzes
And I'll dance the last one with you
We still believe in Waltzes
The lyrics to Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn's song "I Still Believe In Waltzes" tells the story of a woman who initially hesitates to engage in physical intimacy with her partner. She voices her concern about being perceived as "not that kind of girl," indicating that she is concerned about being seen as promiscuous or lacking in traditional morals. Her partner, however, reassures her and tells her that he still believes in the traditional romantic values of Waltzes and old-fashioned love songs.
The lyrics focus on the idea of staying true to one's values and beliefs, even when faced with societal pressures to conform to a more permissive culture. The woman is able to maintain her sense of self-worth and stay true to her own beliefs, while still engaging in a loving and supportive relationship with her partner.
The lyrics ultimately celebrate the power of love and the importance of maintaining traditional values, even in the rapidly changing world of modern culture. It sends a strong message about the importance of groundedness and staying true to oneself, even in the face of adversity.
