[Chorus]
Lead me to love right now
With everything you do
Why don't you tell me?
Tell me you care right now
And show me that you do

[Verse 1]
This whole world's got me down
Not a friend could be found
Why don't you take me, take me!
Take me, take me by the hand!
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Why don't you lead me
Lead me to love right now
With everything you do
And why can't you see girl
I need a little love right now
And show me that you do

[Verse 2]
I wanna hear you say
Yeah, baby
I'm going to stick by your side, alright
Yeah, you know
You know my love will be your guide
You know I'm gonna stick by [?]
Searching for another please
Why don't you touch me, touch me!
Touch me in this heart of mine!
Oh, yeah

[Chorus]
Why don't you lead me
Lead me to love right now
With everything you do
Why don't you tell me?
Tell me somebody love me
Somebody love me

[Verse 3]
That someone is you
And I wanna hear you say
Yeah, yeah, oh baby
Oh, tell me that you love me
Stick by my side
Oh, I say that forever and ever
You'll always lead my life

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
