Temptation
i went to see temptation yesterday
in a fourplex on the old high drive
cause something in my life was runaway
or maybe to prove that i am still alive
temptation lives alone & she works all day
so i waited after five on her front porch
she arrived parked her car & she walked my way
she smiled to see me standing at her door
tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
she turned the key in the lock & let me in
ah temptation showed me what i shouldn't do
ah temptation showed me what i shouldn't do
somewhere in the world tonight
two lovers are treating each other right
somewhere else in a lonely town
one lover waits an endless hour
driving home in the dark i say this time will be the last
i know what i should never do
at least i'll keep temptations photograph
maybe hang onto her phone number too
tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
well i don't plan to tell anyone where i've been
ah temptation showed me what i shouldn't do
ah temptation showed me what i shouldn't do
