Lead Me On
The Nolans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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′
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
The Nolans hit song "Lead Me On" is a powerful ballad that describes an internal struggle between desire and commitment. It tells a story of someone who has made a promise to not lead their partner on, but they can't help feeling the urge to love them even though they know it's wrong. The lyrics evoke a sense of vulnerability, as the person is conflicted between their loyalty and their heart's desires.
The singer of the song acknowledges their weakness and begs their partner to lead them on, taking control of their emotions and leading them down a path that goes against their better judgment. They need love, warmth, and tenderness, which they have never experienced before, and although they feel they cannot do this on their own, they acknowledge that they need to be led. The listener is left with the feeling that their partner has a significant amount of control over them, and even though they recognize that they are doing something wrong, they cannot resist the temptation.

Once I made a promise
In the past, I promised not to deceive you
That I'd never lead you on
I claimed that I would not encourage your feelings for me
But I feel the yearn to love you
Despite my pledge, I have a strong desire to love you
Even though I know it's wrong
I am aware that it is not appropriate or ethical to do so
You'll have to take my hand
It is now your responsibility to guide me
And lead me slowly through the door
Please help me take this step cautiously
I'll be wrong in what I'm doin'
I understand that my actions might be incorrect
I can't refuse you anymore
I am unable to reject you any longer
Lead me on
Please take charge of this situation
And take control of how I feel
Guide my emotions
I can't do this on my own
I am incapable of handling this alone
'Cause it's against my will
I am going against my own wishes and desires
I need love, warm and tender
I require affection that is gentle and compassionate
In a way I've never known
I have not experienced this type of love before
If you want me I'll go with you
If you desire me, I am willing to accompany you
But you'll have to lead me on
However, you will need to guide me
Lead me on
Please take the lead
And take control of how I feel
Direct my emotions
I can't do this on my own
I am incapable of handling this alone
'Cause it's against my will
I am going against my own wishes and desires
But I need love, warm and tender
I require affection that is gentle and compassionate
In a way I've never known
I have not experienced this type of love before
If you want me I'll go with you
If you desire me, I am willing to accompany you
But you'll have to lead me on
However, you will need to guide me
