A little voice, keeps talking to me
From (a) way down deep inside
What does this voice, keep saying to me
It says: pass this affair and pass it wide
You may be a puzzle, but I like the way the parts fit
Still that little voice says: go get your track shoes -put them on and get
We could go the distance
And find us romance
I like your persistence
Your style and your stance
There’s only one problem — the tiniest problem
I like to lead when I dance
Your eyes do the speaking
They talk with each glance
My will-power’s creaking
I might take a (the) chance
And though you’re the charmer — who could bend my armor
I like to lead when I dance
I like to steer the car — whenever I drive
And hold the door ajar — when we arrive
So if it’s decided — that this is romance
My sweet, I’ll repeat — in advance
I like to lead when I dance
(I like to lead when I dance)
When adam bit the fruit — as fashions were then
He got that fig-leaf suit — for which amen
So if it’s decided — I’m wearing the pants
Then eve, I’d say we’ve — got romance
I like to lead — I set the speed
I like to lead when I dance
(when I dance, when I dance, when I dance)
