Temptation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Running so fast, trying so hard
Losing a girl who is closing, she's chasing behind
When I get home I lock up the door
Close the window, I don't come out no more
Take away temptation now
From before my eyes
Take away temptation now
From before my eyes
I've gotta get out, climbing the walls
But it won't be too long till I want to be
Locked up again
Driving me wild, being alone
You're outa my sight and I swear
I'll go outa my head
Take away temptation now
From before my eyes
Take away temptation now
From before my eyes
Running so fast, trying so hard
Losing a girl who is closing, she's chasing behind
Running away, all of the time
Most of the day and all of the night
Take away temptation now
From before my eyes
Just pass me by
