So baby take me

It's your call, your move, oh, girl it's up to you

'Cause I know you know, I'm in your hands

I'm so in love with everything you do
Expressing deep affection for everything the person does.
So don't lead me wrong, lead me on

Now we're standing at your front door
Setting the scene of being at the front door, a crucial moment.
And as I turn to go you touch me

As you take my hand you
