Lyrics

Temptation

I've never been closer
I tried to understand
That certain feeling
Carved by another's hand, no
But it's too late to hesitate
We can't keep on living like this

Leave no track
Don't look back

(All I desire) temptation
(Keep climbin' higher and higher) temptation
(Adorable creatures) temptation
(With unacceptable features) temptation
(Trouble is coming) temptation
(It's just the high cost of loving) temptation
(You can take it or leave it) temptation
(But you'd better believe it)

You've got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours, oh
Step by step, and day by day
Every second counts, I can't break away

Leave no trace
Hide your face

(All I desire) temptation
(Keep climbin' higher and higher) temptation
(You can take it or leave it) temptation
(But you'd better believe it)

(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Step by step, and day by day)
(Every second counts, I can't break away)
Keep us from temptation
Keep us from temptation
Keep us from temptation
Lead us not into temptation

(All I desire) temptation
(Keep climbin' higher and higher) temptation
(Adorable creatures) temptation
(With unacceptable features) temptation
(Trouble is coming) temptation
(It's just the high cost of loving) temptation
(You can take it or leave it) temptation
(But you'd better believe it)

You've got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours, oh
Step by step, and day by day
Every second counts, I can't break away

Leave no trace
Hide your face

(Trying to find it) temptation
(You've got to get up behind it) temptation
(Put your dime in the hot slot) temptation
(But it's a million to one shot) temptation
(You think that you're right now) temptation
(You're gonna face it tonight now) temptation
(Ooh, give me a breakdown) temptation
(Because it's time for a shakedown) temptation

Temptation (temptation)
Temptation

Temptation

Temptation

It's just temptation (trying to find it)
Temptation (get up behind it)
Temptation (dime in the hot slot)
Temptation (million to one shot)
Temptation (think that you're right)
Temptation (you're gonna face it tonight now)
Temptation (give me a breakdown)
Temptation (time for a shakedown)
