Temptation |
| I went to see temptation yesterday |
| In a four-plex out on the old high drive |
| 'Cause something in my life was run away |
| Or maybe to prove that I am still alive |
| Temptation lives alone and she works all day |
| So I waited after five on her front porch |
| She arrived, parked her car, then she walked my way |
| She smiled to see me standing at her door |
| Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin |
| She turned the key in the lock and let me in |
| Ah, ah, ah |
| Temptation showed me what I shouldn’t do |
| Ah, ah, ah |
| Temptation showed me what I shouldn’t do |
| Somewhere in the world tonight |
| Two lovers are treating each other right |
| Somewhere else in a lonely town |
| One lover waits and endless hour, yeah |
| Driving home in the dark |
| I say this time will be the last |
| I know what I should never do |
| At least I’ll keep Temptation’s photograph |
| Maybe hang on to her phone number too |
| Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin |
| Well, I don’t plan to tell anyone where I’ve been |
| Ah, ah, ah |
| Temptation showed me what I shouldn’t do |
| Ah, ah, ah |
| Temptation showed me what I shouldn’t do |
| Yeah, ah, ah, ah |
| Showed me what I shouldn’t do |
| Ah, ah, ah, Oooh, ah, ah, ah |
| Showed me, showed me, ah, ah, ah |
