Why Lead Me On

[Chorus]
You walked into my life when I was up
And now I’m down and so you’re gone
You tell me that you love me
Then you tell me that you don’t, why lead me on?

[Verse 1]
I was on top of the world
Before you came to be with me
You convinced me there’ll be
No one else I’d want to see
You helped me through the good times
On you, riches I’d spend
And now my first time down on luck
Into the sunset you went, girl

[Chorus]
You walked into my life when I was up
And now I’m down and so you’re gone
(I don’t know why you do me the way that you do me
Girl, why lead me on?)
You tell me that you love me
Then you tell me that you don’t, why lead me on?

[Verse 2]
Baby, I play the fool
And I just don’t understand
How can you love the material things
And not love the man
Out of all the times you had to run to me
To say it’s halfway we should meet
You say there’s nothing I can do for you
Until I’m back on my feet

[Chorus]
You walked into my life when I was up
And now I’m down and so you’re gone
(I don’t know why you do me
I don’t know why you do the things that you do to me)
You tell me that you love me
Then you tell me that you don’t, why lead me on?

{Sax solo}

[Chorus]
You walked into my life when I was up
And now I’m down and so you’re gone
(I can’t understand it, can’t understand it baby
Why? Why? Why you lead me on?)
You tell me that you love me
Then you tell me that you don’t, why lead me on?
(You broke my heart)

[Chorus]
You walked into my life when I was up
And now I’m down and so you’re gone
(I can’t understand it, can’t understand it baby
Can’t understand why)
You tell me that you love me
Then you tell me that you don’t, why lead me on?

[Fadeout]
You walked into my life when I was up
And now I’m down and so you’re gone…
