Lyrics:

(S. Cahn, J. Van Heusen) [Recorded April 8, 1964, Los Angeles] A little voice, keeps talking to me from way down deep inside, What does this voice, keep saying to me? It says: 'pass this affair and pass it wide.' You may be a puzzle, but I like the way the parts fit. Still that little voice says: 'Go get your track shoes -put them on and git.' We could go the distance, and find us romance, I like your persistence, your style and your stance. There's only one problem, the tiniest problem, I like to lead when I dance. Your eyes do the speaking, they talk with each glance, My will-power's creaking, I might take a chance. And though you're the charmer who could bend my armor I like to lead when I dance. I like to steer the car whenever I drive, and hold the door ajar when we arrive. So if it's decided that this is romance, my sweet, I'll repeat in advance, I like to lead when I dance. [musical interlude] I like to lead when I dance. When Adam bit the fruit, as fashions were then He got that fig-leaf suit, for which. Amen. So if it's decided I'm wearing the pants, then Eve, I'd say we've got romance I like to lead, I set the speed, I like to lead when I dance. When I dance, when I dance, when I dance.
