Lead Me On
Lynn August 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

The lyrics of Lynn August's song "Lead Me On" express the struggle of the singer to resist the temptation of falling in love with someone who is not available. The song starts by highlighting her initial promise not to lead the person on. However, as the song continues, she admits to feeling the yearning to love the person even though she knows it is wrong. The chorus repeats the phrase "lead me on," indicating that the singer needs the other person to take control and guide her through the situation, which is against her will.


The second verse emphasizes the singer's desire for love and tenderness that she has never experienced before. She is willing to go with the person who she is falling for, but again, she emphasizes that the other person will have to lead her on. The song's tone is melancholic, and the lead singer's voice delivers the right amount of emotion to convey the pain she is feeling.


Through this song, we understand that the singer is going through a situation where she is attracted to someone who is not available. She is fighting her own will, trying to keep the promise she made, but she is struggling to resist the temptation of love. In the end, she pleads for the other person to take control and lead her on if they want her.
