| Lyrics: | (S. Cahn, J. Van Heusen)
[Recorded April 8, 1964, Los Angeles]
A little voice, keeps
talking to me from way down deep inside,
What does this voice, keep saying to me? It says:
"pass this affair and pass it wide."
You may be a puzzle, but I like the way the parts
fit.
Still that little voice says: "Go get your track shoes -put them on and git."
We could
go the distance, and find us romance,
I like your persistence, your style and your
stance.
There's only one problem, the tiniest problem, I like to lead when I dance.
Your
eyes do the speaking, they talk with each glance,
My will-power's creaking, I might take a
chance.
And though you're the charmer who could bend my armor
I like to lead when I
dance.
I like to steer the car whenever I drive, and hold the door ajar when we arrive.
So
if it's decided that this is romance, my sweet, I'll repeat in advance,
I like to lead when I
dance.
[musical interlude]
I like to lead when I dance.
When Adam bit the
fruit, as fashions were then
He got that fig-leaf suit, for which. Amen.
So if it's decided
I'm wearing the pants, then Eve, I'd say we've got romance
I like to lead, I set the speed, I
like to lead when I dance.
When I dance, when I dance, when I dance. |
