Lead Me On
Heidi Hauge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once I made a promise
That I'd never lead you on
But I feel the yearn to love you
Even though I know it's wrong

You'll have to take my hand
And lead me slowly through the door
I'll be wrong in what I'm doin'
I can't refuse you anymore

Lead me on
And take control of how I feel
I can't do this on my own
'Cause it's against my will

I need love, warm and tender
In a way I've never known
If you want me I'll go with you
But you'll have to lead me on

Lead me on
And take control of how I feel
I can't do this on my own
'Cause it's against my will

But I need love, warm and tender
In a way I've never known




If you want me I'll go with you
But you'll have to lead me on

Overall Meaning

Heidi Hauge's song "Lead Me On" talks about a yearning for love, and the inability to resist it. The first verse talks about a promise to never lead the other person on, but a conflict arises as the singer finds themselves wanting to love the other person even though they know it's not right. The following verse is a plea for the other person to take control and lead them through the door, as they know what they're doing is wrong but still cannot resist. The chorus reinforces this, with the singer imploring the other person to lead them on and take control of their feelings, and while they know it's against their will they still need love.


In interpreting this song, it could be said that it explores the concept of knowing something is not right or good for oneself, but still being unable to resist. It could also be about the complexities of human desire, and the struggle between what one knows is right and what one yearns for. Perhaps it also addresses the idea of putting trust into someone else to lead and guide, even when it goes against one's own judgement.


Line by Line Meaning

Once I made a promise
I promised not to deceive you


That I'd never lead you on
I vowed not to give you false hope or encouragement


But I feel the yearn to love you
But I am compelled to love you


Even though I know it's wrong
Even if I know it is not right


You'll have to take my hand
You have to help me by holding my hand


And lead me slowly through the door
Lead me carefully and gently through the entrance


I'll be wrong in what I'm doin'
I know it's not right to do what I am doing


I can't refuse you anymore
I can no longer deny your requests


I need love, warm and tender
I need affection that is caring and gentle


In a way I've never known
In a manner that I have never experienced


If you want me I'll go with you
If you want me, I will accompany you


But you'll have to lead me on
But you have to guide me and support me


Lead me on
Guide me and show me the way


And take control of how I feel
Take charge of my emotions


I can't do this on my own
I cannot manage this by myself


'Cause it's against my will
Because it goes against my own desire
