Lead Me Not

Lari White Lead Me Not Lyrics
1.Lead Me Not

(lari white)

Well, i should have been home hours ago
I always lose track of the time
I'll just hold up this wall while i try to recall
A thought from the back of my mind

Oh yeah i remember, it began with a wink
When you caught me looking at you
So don't ask me if you can buy me a drink
I know what you're trying to do

Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself

I've the best of intentions, lord, i mean to be good
And stick to the path i should go
But seems the harder i try, the further i slide
'til i'm lost down that same dead end road

Now you're a good lookin' thing, and that must be the best
Proposition that i've had all day
But there's no need for subtlety, darlin', just get thee
Behind me and i'll show you the way

Lead me not into temptation
I already know the road all too well
Lead me not into temptation
I can find it all by myself


2.Made To Be Broken

(lari white)

So it begins
Learning the language of poets and thieves
She's crying again
He's making promise no one could keep
They sound so sweet
But they are

Made to be broken
Made to be broken
Even as they are spoken
They are made to be broken

She's nobody's fool
Collecting the hearts of the lovers she's known
But she locks up her own
'cause hearts were

Made to be broken
Made to be broken
Love's only token
It was made to be broken

No one defends
The spirits of wild horses and children
Made to be broken

Who makes the rules
That tell us by nature we're destined to fail
We wrote them ourselves
And they were

Made to be broken
Made to be broken
Rules were made to be broken
Made to be broken


3.What A Woman Wants

(lari white/chuck cannon)

Come here darlin', let me whisper in your ear
A precious little secret that i think you need to hear
With the way the women's movement's always making the news
I can see how a man might get confused
Now a woman doesn't mind a man holding the door
But slaving in some kitchen ain't what god made a woman for
We've come a long way baby, but way down deep we're still the
same
What a woman wants will never change

Chorus:
What a woman wants is to be treated like a queen
By a man who deserves to be treated like a king
What a woman wants, what keeps her holding on
Is a loving man who understands what a woman wants

Now that ain't so complicated, baby, you know what to do
Just do onto me like you want to be done to
Put me on a pedestral and i'll put you on a throne
I bet you're gonna love what a woman wants

(repeat chorus twice)


4.Anything Goes

(verlon thompson/suzi ragsdale)

Sometimes you, sometimes i push, we shove
We know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes

I know you won't ever do what i could never forgive
You know that i know that you'll love me as long as you live
Forever

Sometimes you, sometimes i push, we shove
We know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes

Just when we think we know just what we're thinking - surprise!
Sometimes it seems that the rule is that no rule applies
Ai, ai, ai, ai....
Anything goes

Sometimes you, sometimes i push, we shove
We know heaven knows
In the game of love, sweet love
Anything goes

Ai, ai, ai, ai....
Anything goes

In the game of love, my love
Anything goes


5.Where The Lights Are Low

(lari white/chris waters)

It's been awhile since i've seen you around
You don't come down to the lonely side of town
Since we've been out of touch
I'm not too hard to find
But it doesn't hurt so much
'cause i spend all my time

Where the lights are low
Where the jukebox plays
The saddest song it knows
Through a smoky haze
Since you've been gone
That's where i go
'cause everything looks better
Where the lights are low

In the dark i'm just part of the crowd
It's hard to tell who it is i'm there without
In some tall stranger's arms
Your memory's not so clear
I can cry all night long
'cause no one sees the tears

Where the lights are low
Where the jukebox plays
The saddest song it knows
Through a smoky haze
Since you've been gone
That's where i go
'cause everything looks better
Where the lights are low

Yes, everything looks better
Where the lights are low


6.Don't Leave Me Lonely

(lari white/chuck cannon)

I step across the danger line
And feel this crazy heart of mine
Go midnight blue
Somewhere an angel sheds a tear
For all the beauty and the fear
Of loving you
It's true that only heaven knows
The way love comes and goes
But i don't have heaven's eyes
I've seen too many sad goodbyes

Don't leave me lonely
Don't leave me blue
Don't leave me loving you
Don't leave me loving you

Through the shadows of my doubt
I see the love i've lived without
Shine in your eyes
But love can break the truest heart
And leave it in the deepest dark
If the fire dies
It's up to us to tend the flame
Don't let the wind and rain
Keep you from holding on
Baby, please be strong

Don't leave me lonely
Don't leave me blue
Don't leave me loving you
Don't leave me loving you

Don't leave me loving you
Baby, be true
Don't leave me loving you


7.Good Good Love

(lari white/john rotch)

Chorus:
If you want a good good love
Hold on when the times are bad
'cause if you jump ship when trouble hits
Good for nothin' is all you'll have
You gotta anchor down in the winds of doubt
You can't give in and you can't bail out
If the water's high hold your head above
And hang on for that good good love

When love sets sail it's always a sunny day
And when the skies are blue it's so easy to make love stay
But when the clouds roll in and the ship begins to strain
You gotta try a little harder
Go on, test the water
'cause the air is so much sweeter
After a real good rain

(repeat chorus)

Now a few dark days don't mean that love has died
'cause just above the storm you know the sun always shines
And you can't say love is true until it's tried
So there ain't no need to fret
You're gonna get just a little wet
But you won't go under with the thunder
If you let the faith hold you high

(repeat chorus)
