You came, I was alone |
I should have known |
You were temptation |
You smiled, luring me on |
My heart was gone |
And you were temptation |
It would be thrilling if you were willing |
And, if it can never be, pity me |
For you were born to be kissed |
I can’t resist, you are temptation, I |
Am yours, here is my heart |
Take it and say that we’ll never part |
I’m just a slave, only a slave |
To you, temptation |
I’m your slave!!! |
