one thing led to another 

The obvious definition is that you did one thing, which led to a situation where it was logical to do some other related thing.

It can often be used to say something without actually saying it--you might say the phrase to imply that something happened which you are not going to be explicitly explain... (see the example below.)

I heard this rumour about John and Beth: Beth invited John to dinner last week, during which he accidentally spilled wine on his pants. Beth told him he better take them off so she could clean off the wine before it made a permanent stain. I guess John got a little aroused by the situation, and one thing led to another...
