Lead On

She said, "I don't recall
Seein' you around here
You must be new to this town"
Said, "I'm just passin' through but
Girl from the looks of you I
Could see me settlin' down"

Then she smiled and said
"The invitation's open
'Cause you look just like
What I've been waitin' on"
So I said, "Why don't we take
This matter somewhere else
And get to know
This feelin' that's so strong
An' lead on?"

She said, "I had a love once
But he just up and left me"
I said, "I bet it broke your heart
I had a love once too but
I acted like a fool
Oh, what I'd give to be back in her arms"

Then she smiled and said
"The invitation's open
'Cause you look just like
What I've been waitin' on"
So I said, "Why don't we take
This matter somewhere else
And pick up right
Where everything went wrong
An' lead on?"

She said, "I don't recall
Seein' you around here
You must be new to this town"
