Lyrics - I Like to Lead when I Dance by Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
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)
