| 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 |
