Songs in a story

[LovesDancing]

Obviously actual songs are copyrighted, but can we put the words of a song into a story? The story I've submitted is about two people dancing, but could I have put the words to the song into the story that they're dancing to?

You'd be safe putting two lines of the song in your story.
