Frank Sinatra I Like to Lead When I Dance song lyrics

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)
