Lyrics
i met her in a psychiatric wrad, she was rolling on the floor, i helped her up, put her on the sofa, i put the kettle on, and she rolled over - would you like a different kind of life she said, would you like a different kind of life she said to me - and i thought about it and i'm still thinking
don't lead me on
don't lead me on
i'm not too young to have a child, wouldn't that be wild? another soul to call my own someone to teach someone to learn, a little kid to take to school, to show the rules, and how to make 'em for themselves and how to break them and how to fake them
don't lead me on
don't lead me on
i feel to old to start again don't wanna lose i wanna win i'll open up and let you in i'll take the tests because i've sinned i wanna be your kith your kin i'll stand beside you till the end
don't lead me on
don't lead me on
