Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late at night, body's yearning
Restless night, wanna be with you
Someone's playing in the garden
So enticing, should I take a bite?
[Verse 2]
I don't know what's come over me
She's as heavy as a Chevy
Pure excitement, misled
When she touches, can't resist her
I'm a puppet when she's playing
She's outgoing but I love her so, misled
So, I'm saying now
[Verse 3]
Baby, baby, what's your claim to fame?
Got me out of bed, heard you call my name
What's this crazy place you wanna take me to?
Tell me, what's the price if I go with you?
[Verse 4]
My heart, my soul
My love, is that the goal?
The thrill then I will
Hey misled, be for real
[Verse 5]
Thought I knew her, this lady
Opportunist, misled
Always searching for adventure
Like Pandora's box, misled
And I don't know what I'm gonna do without her
[Verse 6]
Baby, baby, what's your claim  to fame?
Got me out of bed, heard you call my name
What's this crazy place you wanna take me to?
Tell me, what's the price if I go with you?
[Verse 7]
My heart, my soul
My love, is that the goal?
The thrill then I will
Hey misled, won't you be for real?
[Verse 8]
I've got this feeling and it's rocking my way
But I love her just the same
Just the same
Oh, yes I do, yeah
[Verse 9]
Misled, heard you call my name
Misled, what's your claim to fame?
Misled, took me by the hand
Misled, said I would understand
[Verse 10]
Misled, boulevard of broken dreams
Misled, not a pretty scene
Misled, baby, that's your name
Misled, what's your claim to fame?
[Verse 11]
My heart, my soul
My love, is that the goal?
The thrill then I will
Misled, won't you be for real?
[Verse 12]
Baby, baby, what's your claim to fame?
Got me out of bed, heard you call my name
What's this crazy place you wanna take me to?
Tell me, what's the price if I go with you?
[Verse 13]
My heart, my soul
My love, is that the goal?
The thrill then I will
Hey misled, won't you be for real?
[Verse 14]
Misled, misled, misled
Misled, misled, misled
Misled, misled, misled
Misled, misled, misled
[Verse 15]
Misled, misled, misled
I was misled by you
Misled, misled, misled
