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
