Lyrics

Where You Lead

[Verse 1]

Loving you the way I do

I only wanna be with you

And I would go to the ends of the earth

'Cause darling, to me that's what you're worth

[Chorus]

Where you lead, I will follow

Anywhere that you tell me to

If you need, you need me to be with you

I will follow where you lead

[Verse 2]

If you're out on the road

Feeling lonely, and so cold

All you have to do is call my name

And I'll be there on the next train

[Chorus]

Where you lead, I will follow

Anywhere that you tell me to

If you need, you need me to be with you

I will follow where you lead

[Bridge]

I always wanted a real home

With flowers on the window sill

But if you want to live in New York City

Honey, you know I will (Yes I will, yes I will)

I never thought I could get satisfaction

From just one man

But if anyone can keep me happy

You're the one who can

[Chorus]

Where you lead, I will follow

Anywhere that you tell me to

If you need, you need me to be with you

I will follow oh, oh

Where you lead, I will follow

Any, anywhere that you tell me to

If you need, you need me to be with you

I will follow where you lead

Oh baby

Ooh (Ooh)

[Outro]

I'm gonna follow where you lead

(I'm gonna follow where you lead)

Oh baby, yeah, I'm gonna follow where you lead

(I'm gonna follow where you lead)

Ooh sugar, uh huh, I'm gonna follow where you lead

(I'm gonna follow where you lead)

Oh baby, yeah, I'm gonna follow where you lead

(I'm gonna follow where you lead)

Ooh yeah, I'm gonna follow where you lead
