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 the big guns start shooting
With their bullets of deception
With the smile upon your face
Going from second hand to almost new
Well I try to live life eye to eye (eye to eye)
But I say I find it far too tall
Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, you give me (GIMME)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
Sing along, sing along baby
Sing along for the love of the children
And if this was to be true
Say I'd give all the tea in China
And maybe, all the tulips
In Amsterdam
Well I try to live life eye to eye (eye to eye)
But I say I find it far too tall
Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, you give me (GIMME)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
First you make me move
Until I'm so damn close
Take me back again, take me back again
Say I'm mighty thankful
But it's much too easy
Paying dues and learning vices
But no, but no, but oh no
You won't waste my angry spirit
Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, give me (GIMME)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
I want peace, love and understanding
To last throughout my life
Sing along, sing along baby
Sing along for the love of the children
