I Like To Lead When I Dance by Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): cahn/van heusen


A little voice, keeps talking to me
From (a) 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 get"

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 (the) 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

(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)
