Temptation

I've never been closer
I've tried to understand
That certain feeling
Carved by anothers hand
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 climbing higher and higher (temptation)
Adorable creatures (temptation)
With unacceptable features (temptation)
And trouble is coming (temptation)
Its just the high cost of loving (temptation)
And 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 lets head for home now
Everything I have is yours
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 climbing higher and higher (temptation)
And you can take it or leave it (temptation)
But you'd better believe it (yeah)
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
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 shots (temptation)
You think you're right now (temptation)
You've got to fake it tonight now (temptation)
And now you give me a breakdown (temptation)
Because it's time for a shakedown (temptation)
