I have often heard you say You love me as a friend But I love you more than anyone You know I can't pretend no longer I would give you anything I'd throw my world But you don't want to hear that anymore And you want to hear me say Come on and lead me on Come on and tease me all night long Lovin' you I know it's right I'll always need you, I'll never leave you Come on and lead me on Tease me all night long I'd rather be a fool with a broken heart Than someone who never had a part of you You know I told you from the start Exactly how I feel Time goes on, seems nothing's changed I'm in love for real We have never played the games That real lovers do So maybe we are better off But, baby, I'd still like this from you Come on and lead me on Come on and tease me all night long Lovin' you I know it's right I'll always need you, I'll never leave you Come on and lead me on Tease me all night long I'd rather be a fool with a broken heart Than someone who never had a part of you Come on and lead me on (Come on and lead me) Come on and tease me all night long (Tease me all night long) I'd rather be a fool with a broken heart Than someone who never had a part of you Come on and lead me on (Come on and lead me) Tease me all night long (Tease me all night long) Lovin' you I know it's right I'll always need you, I'll never leave you Come on and lead me on Tease me all night long
