Temptation

Paying dues and learning vices
When the big guns start shooting
With their bullets of deception, honey
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, tall, tall, tall, tall
Show me one more sign
Gimme me one more time
Cos you gimme, (GIMME)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
Show me one more sign
Gimme me one more time
Cos you gimme, (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
But I say I find it far too tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
Show me one more sign
Gimme me one more time
Cos you gimme, (GIMME)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
Show me one more sign
Gimme me one more time
Cos you gimme, (GIMME)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
Sing along, baby
For the love of the children
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
I'm paying dues and learning vices
But no, but no, but oh no
You won't waste my angry spirit, my spirit
My spirit
Yeahhhhhhh,show me one more sign
Gimme me one more time
Cos you gimme (GIMME)
You gimme (GIMME),you gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
Show me one more sign
Gimme me one more time
Cos you gimme, you gimme
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
I want peace, love and understanding
Peace, love and understanding
Peace, love and understanding
To last
Sing along, sing along baby
Sing along, sing along baby
Sing along for the love of the children
Well I try to live life eye to eye, eye to eye
But I say I find it far too tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
Say I find it was too tall...
