Tempted

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face

Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case.

I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place.

Pass the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill

Billboards and the buildings

Memories of it still keep calling

And calling

But forget it all I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on

Now that you have gone

There's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel

The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well

I said, "It's no occasion. It's no story I can tell."

At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock

Your body gets much closer

I fumble for the clock, alarmed by

The seduction

I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on

Now that you have gone there's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you

But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue.

I asked of my reflection,

Tell me what is there to do?

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on

Now that you have gone there's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered
