Lyrics
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.
When you tell me that you're leaving, and that you've got to be alone
Sometimes you seem to me like you're far away, in some different danger zone
I couldn't stop you if I wanted, you found somebody else for sure
What you don't know is I've found some love, like some revolving door, yeah
Chorus:
Temptation's gonna come into our lives, gonna break up our happy home
Temptation, me and you are going through it
And we should know better, to leave that thing alone
You always seem to be distracted, just like your mind is somewhere else
If you don't wanna be alone with some strange guy
You're gonna wind up on the shelf, yeah
(chorus)
(Solo)
Temptation's gonna come into our lives, gonna break up our happy home
Temptation, me and you are going through it
And we should know better, yeah yeah
(repeats 2x)
