Irving Berlin - Lead Me To Love Lyrics

[1st verse:]
[Ernesta:] Tell me all about the game of love
All about the love I'm dreaming of
[Flint:] Ah, go on, ah, go on
I believe you're only fooling
[Ernesta:] I'm so very stupid at that game
Stupid Mister Cupid never came
[Flint:] Ah, go on, ah, go on
I'm afraid you need no schooling
[Ernesta:] I'd like to take a lesson from you
[Flint:] Just tell me what you want me to do

[1st refrain:]
[Ernesta:] Lead me, oh, lead me to love
[Flint:] Get away, get away, for I'm on to you
[Ernesta:] Come be my own turtle dove
[Flint:] Not today, not today, you will never do

[Ernesta:] Come here and Romeo me
[Flint:] I fear that you don't know me
[Ernesta:] I'll learn if you just show me how
[Flint:] Now?
[Ernesta:] Yes!
[Flint:] No!

[Ernesta:] Please help a poor lovesick miss
[Flint:] Let me look, let me look till I find a cure
[Ernesta:] I've never yet had a kiss
[Flint:] Get the hook, get the hook, she's an amateur

[Ernesta:] Loved I must be, dear
[Flint:] Why pick on me, dear?
[Ernesta:] Lead me
[Flint:] Go on
[Ernesta:] I want to be loved

[2nd verse:]
[Ernesta:] Take me in your arms and call me dear
Whisper little nothings in my ear
[Flint:] Don't you dare, don't you dare
Take advantage of a stranger
[Ernesta:] Listen to a maiden's earnest plea
Won't you come and flirt with lovesick me
[Flint:] I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid to flirt with danger
[Ernesta:] I'd like to know just what it's about
[Flint:] I'll show you if the lights will go out

[2nd refrain:]
[Ernesta:] Lead me, oh, lead me to love
[Chorus:] Give her a kiss, give her a kiss while the lights are low
[Ernesta:] Come be my own turtle dove
[Chorus:] Watch your step, watch your step or you'll stub your toe

[Ernesta:] I'm sure when you will know me
You'll want to Romeo me
Come over here and show me how
[Flint:] Now?
[Ernesta:] Yes!
[Flint:] No!

[Ernesta:] Please help a poor lovesick miss
[Chorus:] Better look, better look till you find a cure
[Ernesta:] I've never yet had a kiss
[Chorus:] Get the hook, get the hook, she's an amateur

[Ernesta:] Kiss me, I'm anxious
[Flint:] Not while I'm conscious
[Ernesta:] Lead me
[Flint:] Come on
[Ernesta:] I want to be loved
