Lyrics
Refrain:
Lead me, oh, lead me to love
Get away, get away, for I’m on to you
Come be my own turtle dove
Not today, not today, you will never do
Come here and Romeo me
I fear that you don’t know me
I’ll learn if you just show me how
Now? Yes! No!
Please help a poor lovesick miss
Let me look, let me look till I find a cure
I’ve never yet had a kiss
Get the hook, get the hook, she’s an amateur
Loved I must be, dear
Why pick on me, dear?
Lead me, Go on, I want to be loved
Refrain:
Lead me, oh, lead me to love
Give her a kiss, give her a kiss
While the lights are low
Come be my own turtle dove
Watch your step, watch your step
Or you’ll stub your toe
I’m sure when you will know me
You’ll want to Romeo me
Come over here and show me how
Now? Yes! No!
Please help a poor lovesick miss
Better look, better look till you find a cure
I’ve never yet had a kiss
Get the hook, get the hook, she’s an amateur
Kiss me, I’m anxious
Not while I’m conscious
Lead me, Come on, I want to be loved
