Led Me On
02:55

You led me on, you led me on
You led me on, and now you’re wondering why I’m gone
It’s ‘cause you led me on
Oh girl, when I first met you,
I didn’t know how to tell you,
The way I felt inside,
The way I would’ve died for you
Oh girl, you had me blinded
And I couldn’t see how one-sided
This whole thing was
The thing I thought was love
You had me sold right from the start,
You knew you’d got a hold of my heart
Oh girl, you stopped responding
But my heart, it kept on falling
For something that wasn’t there,
Still hoping that you cared
I’ve heard in this world,
That it’s pawn versus pawn
But at least a chess piece
Wouldn’t’ve led me on
Oh girl, I see more clearly,
That you don’t even want to be near me
I’ve finally given up now,
Cause you won’t even show me how you feel
I’ve heard in this world,
That it’s pawn versus pawn
But at least a chess piece
Wouldn’t’ve led me on
Oh girl, now it’s apparent
That you weren’t being transparent
You’ve lied to me and made me see
You weren’t right
What a beautiful map to my heart you’d drawn
What a shame it was only used to lead me on
Lead me on, lead me on

The Rest Of Me
02:13

Been feeling this way for quite some time,
How am I supposed to tell you what’s on my mind
I can’t decide if I should hide it and conceal
Or should I just flat out tell you how I feel
I want to tell you how I’ve felt so badly
Cause you’re the only person that I love so madly
I need to tell you now
But I just can’t think of how to tell you
Do I risk the friendship that we’ve got
Does being with you really mean a lot
Is it really worth risking it all
Just in hopes that you will fall for me
I just need to get it off my chest
And I hope that saying this will be for the best
I’m pouring out my feelings for you
The feelings I’m sure are true
I’m in love with you, don’t know how else to say it
But I’m not sure how to display it
I really don’t want to delay it
So here I am just trying to convey it
I’m telling you the truth and you know it
I’ve been trying really hard to show it
This is how I feel for you
Our love could be so strong and true
I’ve finally given into the feelings I’m feeling
Though my heart is still fleeing
But I think you could convince it to start believing
Cause in time I know that it’ll start seeing
That you’ve the person that I’ve been needing
You’re the one who will be completing the rest of me

I wish you could tell me what’s on your mind, girl
Cause I really think you’re fine, girl
But all you do is turn me away,
You lead me astray!
I wish you would answer my telephone calls, dear
You’ve been building up your walls, dear
It’s the perfect place to hide,
Please let me inside
I just want you to show me if you love me back
You know you’ve certainly got the knack
Please show me how to ask you if it’s true
Cause I’m dying to know, do you love me too
I’m getting the feeling you feel the same, love
But maybe it’s only a game love
But I sure do love to play
I need you to say
You know I’m wanting to tell you bad
To the point it’s gonna drive me mad
So here’s my confession: I’m in love with you
But it leaves me wondering one single thing;
Do you love me too
I just want you to show me if you love me back
You know you’ve certainly got the knack
Please show me how to ask you if it’s true
Cause I’m dying to know, do you love me too
I wish you could tell me what’s on your mind, girl
Cause I really think you’re fine, girl
I just wanna hear you say
You feel that way
Tell me if it’s true
Do you love me too

Emma-Lynn

When I first met you, I must say,
That I’d never felt this way about someone before, it’s true
You took me by the hand and you showed that love could be more
Than anything I’d seen before
But then you grew distant, and it was plain to see
That you were losing your interest in me,
Oh, and what a fool I’d become by not talking about it
Well, Emma-Lynn,
Don’t you know I think it’s a sin,
For you to leave me and go on loving him,
Oh, Emma-Lynn
It was apparent that you were gonna go,
That you were smitten with him, I should’ve known
Not to trust you with my heart cause I knew it would be broken,
And you would leave the wound wide open
Well, Emma-Lynn,
Don’t you know I think it’s a sin,
For you to leave me and go on loving him,
Oh, Emma-Lynn
I used to be happy when I saw your face,
But now I’m only filled with pain,
Was there a reason you had to do this,
Or did you just want to drive me insane?
I used to be happy when I saw your face,
But now I’m only filled with pain,
Was there a reason you had to do this,
Or did you just want to drive me insane?
Well, Emma-Lynn,
Don’t you know I think it’s a sin,
For you to leave me and go on loving him,
Oh, Emma-Lynn
Well, Emma-Lynn,
Don’t you know I think it’s a sin,
For you to leave me and go on loving him,
Oh, Emma-Lynn

I’ve gotta get these words and feelings out
But telling you in person is not what I’m about
Should I send a text to you that happens to say
Oh please girl; don’t turn me away
If I do confide my feelings in you,
But the feelings aren’t mutual, what am I to do
Should I ask you to try to find a way
So that you don’t go and turn me away
I’ve had my heart broken so many times before
How can I be sure
That if I say I’d like to be more than a friend
That you won’t leave me on opened
We’ve been talking for a while and I’ve felt a real connection
To the point where I’ve started to feel some hints of true affection
But if that’s not the case, then just let me say
Well c’mon girl, don’t turn me away
I’ve had my heart broken so many times before
How can I be sure
That if I say I’d like to be more than a friend
That you won’t leave me on opened
If I do confide my feelings in you,
But the feelings aren’t mutual, what am I to do
Should I ask you to try to find a way
So that you don’t go and turn me away
Don’t turn me away,
Don’t turn me away,
Don’t turn me away,
Don’t turn me away
