"Lead On" lyrics

She said I don't recall seeing you around here
You must be new to this town
Said I'm just passing through
But girl from the looks of you
I could see me settling down.

[Chorus:]
Then she smiled and said the invitation's open
'Cause you look just like what I've been waiting on
So I said why don't we take this matter somewhere else
And get to know this feeling that's so strong, lead on.

She said I had a love once, but he just up and left me
I said I bet it broke your heart.
I had a love once too, but I acted like a fool
Oh what I'd give to be back in her arms.

[Chorus:]
Then she smiled and said the invitation's open
'Cause you look just like what I've been waiting on
So I said why don't we take this matter somewhere else
And pick up right where everything went wrong, lead on.

She said I don't recall seeing you around here
You must be new to this town.
