Once I made a promise that I'd never lead you on But I feel the yearn to love you even though I know it's wrong You'll have to take my hand and lead me slowly through the door I'll be wrong in what I'm doin' I can't refuse you anymore Lead me on and take control of how I feel I can't do this on my own 'cause it's against my will I need love warm and tender in a way I've never known If you want me I'll go with you but you'll have to lead me on Lead me on and take control of how I feel I can't do this on my own 'cause it's against my will But I need love warm and tender in a way I've never known If you want me I'll go with you but you'll have to lead me on
