"Temptation" lyrics

It started way back in the Garden of Eden
The Devil told a lie and Eve believed him
Well, Adam figured one bite couldn't do no harm
They were taken in, deceived by the Devil's charm
Today, it's the same old situation
No matter who you are, you gotta deal with a little temptation

Well, I heard money is the root of all evil
Some gettin' more of it by cheatin' on people
The almighty dollar, get it while you can
The lust of gold can make a thief of an honest man
Well, greed holds no discrimination
No matter who you are, you gotta deal with a little temptation

Temptation, you wanna taste that forbidden fruit
Temptation, it's always a-lookin' for you
There comes a time in everyone's life
When there's no safe place to run
No matter who you are, you gotta deal with a little temptation

The sweet, sweet smell of a perfume lingers (Lingers)
Even though he knows she got a ring on her finger
The coast is clear, and he sees a chance
Got an invitation for a night of sweet romance
He looks at her in contemplation
No matter who you are, you gotta deal with a little temptation

Temptation, you wanna taste that forbidden fruit
Temptation, it's always a-lookin' for you
There comes a time in everyone's life
When there's no safe place to run
No matter who you are, you gotta deal with a little temptation

Yeah, now no matter who you are, you gotta deal with a little temptation
Temptation, deal with it (Temptation)
Temptation, it's always a-lookin' for you (Temptation)
Temptation, you wanna taste that forbidden fruit (Temptation)
Temptation (Temptation)
All right, hit me, guitar
All right, hit me, guitar
Sweet temptation (Temptation)
Deal with it (Temptation)
