Lead Me On
Brad Go Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She is beautiful
So untouchable
So impractical
So impossible
She's a work of art
Every body part
She's like a broken song
That leads me on, and on, and on
And she's a real woman
'Cause she knows just what she's doin'
and she always plays it cool
But I'm gonna make it through this
Though I know I'm being stupid
Since I know just what she's gonna do
She's gonna just
Lead me on
Go ahead, break my heart for fun
Though it seems that lately
No is better than maybe if she's gonna just
Lead me on
The way she looks at me
Just long enough for me to see
There's something more inside
So I've got to try
The way she sways with me
When we're dancin' cheek to cheek
Feels like the world is mine
And I can stop all time
And I know we could be perfect
Cause I know she is worth it
But the timing's never right
And things are gettin' heavy
Pretending that she never met me
But I'm not goin' down without a fight
If she's gonna just
Lead me on
Go ahead break my heart for fun
If she's gonna save me
No is better than maybe
If she's gonna just
Lead me on
And though the night ends at your door
I should be runnin but I need more
Lead me on
Go ahead and
Break my heart for fun
And if she's gonna save me
No is better than maybe




If she's gonna just
Lead me on

I am almost 70. From the first time I heard this song it hit me as the best way to tell my children when I died not to cry that I would be with God. I have asked my oldest son to play only this song at my service. It says it all. Going home to meet my sweet Jesus and all those I loved so much who beat me to Heaven. I can hardly wait. God I love you so much for holding my hand when my time comes.
