Lyrics
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
