Tempting
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.
I'd really like to go ahead and invite you
Spill us some booze at the nowhere saloon
You know I like you, let's drown our regrets
Pass me another of your Kool-pack filter cigarettes
Later on when the shades are drawn
I'm gonna ask you a question
Do I wanna stay this time, no matter if I live or die
It sure is temptin'
I'd really like to impose on your schedule
Ask you to join me on a midnight cruise
Then I would like you to relax for a second
By the light of a fairy silvery moon
Later on when the shades are drawn
I'm gonna ask you a question
Do I wanna stay this time, no matter if I live or die
It sure is temptin'
Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', yes I know
I'm sure it is, I'm sure it is
I'm sure it is right
I think I could risk to expect more than I wanted to
Now that I've got you in this perfect mood
Makin' love with you, a place in our beds
Pass me another of those Kool-pack filter cigarettes
Later on when the shades are drawn
I'm gonna ask you a question
Do I wanna stay this time, no matter if I live or die
It sure is temptin'
Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', yes I know
Temptin', temptin' yes I know
I'm sure it is, I'm sure it is
I'm sure it is right
