Temptation
I went to see temptation yesterday
In a fourplex on the old high drive
Cause something in my life was a runaway
Or maybe to prove that I'm still alive
Temptation lives alone and works all day
So I waited till after five on her front porch
She arrived, parked her car, and walked my way
She smiled to see me standing at her door
Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
She turned around, put the key in the lock and let me in...
Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
Somewhere in the world tonight
Two lovers are holding each other tight
Somewhere else in a lonely town
One lover waits an endless lifetime
Driving home in the dark
I say this will be the last time
I know now what I should never do
Atleast I'll keep temptations photograph
Maybe hang on to her phone number too
Tell me how pleasure can be a sin
Well I don't plan to tell anyone
Just where I've been
Temptation showed me what I should do
And that's turn around and wait a lifetime for you.
