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.
She walks in, 5"9,
Looking so fine
And the way that she's moving
Across the room
She knows exactly what she's here to do
She's getting closer
Now i get high
Something's coming off of me, the more i look in her eyes
But my baby's waiting at home
There's no way i'm leaving her alone...temptation
Temptation, you won't get the best of me
Won't get the best of me no more
Temptation, you won't get the best of me
Won't get the best of me no more
She walked right out from the pages of my passions
Got that same sensuous smile right down to her fine ass
She's poetry in motion in every move she make
And she wants my immediate attention
For some old times sake
I tried to explain, get her to understand
Things are different now
See i'm a family man
Don't waste your time and effort
Trying to get me hot
No way in this world am i trying to lose what i got
Temptation, you won't get the best of me
Won't get the best of me no more
Temptation, you won't get the best of me
Won't get the best of me no more
Son, you can never give in
Cause if you let it begin
You will never be able to stop
You gotta do whatever it takes
Learn from all my mistakes
And don't ever play games with her heart
Temptation, you won't get the best of me
Won't get the best of me no more
Temptation, you won't get the best of me
Won't get the best of me no more
Temptation, you won't get the best of me
Won't get the best of me no more
Temptation, you won't get the best of me
Won't get the best of me no more
