Lead Me Not

(verlon thompson/suzi ragsdale)

Sometimes you, sometimes i push, we shove
We know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes

I know you won't ever do what i could never forgive
You know that i know that you'll love me as long as you live
Forever

Sometimes you, sometimes i push, we shove
We know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes

Just when we think we know just what we're thinking - surprise!
Sometimes it seems that the rule is that no rule applies
Ai, ai, ai, ai....
Anything goes

Sometimes you, sometimes i push, we shove
We know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes

Ai, ai, ai, ai....
Anything goes

In the game of love, my love
Anything goes

(lari white/john rotch)

Chorus:
If you want a good good love
Hold on when the times are bad
'cause if you jump ship when trouble hits
Good for nothin' is all you'll have
You gotta anchor down in the winds of doubt
You can't give in and you can't bail out
If the water's high hold your head above
And hang on for that good good love

When love sets sail it's always a sunny day
And when the skies are blue it's so easy to make love stay
But when the clouds roll in and the ship begins to strain
You gotta try a little harder
Go on, test the water
'cause the air is so much sweeter
After a real good rain

(repeat chorus)

Now a few dark days don't mean that love has died
'cause just above the storm you know the sun always shines
And you can't say love is true until it's tried
So there ain't no need to fret
You're gonna get just a little wet
But you won't go under with the thunder
If you let the faith hold you high

(repeat chorus)

(lari white)

Well, i should have been home hours ago
I always lose track of the time
I'll just hold up this wall while i try to recall
A thought from the back of my mind

Oh yeah i remember, it began with a wink
When you caught me looking at you
So don't ask me if you can buy me a drink
I know what you're trying to do

Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself

I've the best of intentions, lord, i mean to be good
And stick to the path i should go
But seems the harder i try, the further i slide
'til i'm lost down that same dead end road

Now you're a good lookin' thing, and that must be the best
Proposition that i've had all day
But there's no need for subtlety, darlin', just get thee
Behind me and i'll show you the way

Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself

(lari white/chris waters)

It's been awhile since i've seen you around
You don't come down to the lonely side of town
Since we've been out of touch
I'm not too hard to find
But it doesn't hurt so much
'cause i spend all my time

Where the lights are low
Where the jukebox plays
The saddest song it knows
Through a smoky haze
Since you've been gone
That's where i go
'cause everything looks better
Where the lights are low

In the dark i'm just part of the crowd
It's hard to tell who it is i'm there without
In some tall stranger's arms
Your memory's not so clear
I can cry all night long
'cause no one sees the tears

Where the lights are low
Where the jukebox plays
The saddest song it knows
Through a smoky haze
Since you've been gone
That's where i go
'cause everything looks better
Where the lights are low

Yes, everything looks better
Where the lights are low
