Tell me anything you think I want to hear

Just to keep me standin' here

To secure your shaky fears

Tell me you love me, but in your heart you know you don't

So you lie 'cause you think I want

To make believe you love when you don't

[Chorus]

Lead me on, lead me on

Lead me on, lead me on

I'll play along and along and along

Baby lead me on

Lead me on

Pretend it's rainin' when the tears flow from my eyes

And you're warm when you're cold as ice

And everything's gonna be alright

And it's a shame, little johnny wears my name

And you know I'm not the one

Still you say he is my son

[Chorus]

And when I leave to go work for you

You cry you're lonely too

To make me feel your love is true

But in your dreams you slip and tell it all

I hear you calling out his name

You say you love him loud and plain

[Chorus]
