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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You came, I was alone
I should have known
You were temptation
You sigh, leading me on
I should have known
You were temptation
It would be thrilling
If you were willing
But if it can never be
Well, then pity me
You were born to be kissed
I can't resist
You are temptation
I'm yours, here is my heart
Take it away, we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
