"Temptation" lyrics

Take a strong man
To turn it away
When it's right there
Right there every day
Like a house on fire
Burning out of control
Just to feed your desire
You'd be selling your soul

Well, I ain't no angel
But I'm not really bad
Must be the danger
Some men got to have
Some men, they gamble
And some men, they run
Why does temptation
Got to be so much fun?

Temptation, it's got me again
Temptation, disguised as a friend
Temptation, it won't go away
Temptation, all night and all day

Well, there's a price to pay
After the song has been sung
Just like they used to say
Back when we were young
Well, it might not cost today
But it might cost tomorrow
When your number's up
You gotta beg, steal or borrow

Temptation, it's got me again
Temptation, disguised as a friend
Temptation, it won't go away
Temptation, all night and all day

Take a strong man
To turn it away
When it's right there
Right there every day
Some men, they gamble
And some men, they run
Why does temptation
Got to be so much fun?

Temptation, it's got me again
Temptation, disguised as a friend
Temptation, it won't go away
Temptation, all night and all day
Temptation, it's got me again
Temptation, disguised as a friend
Temptation, it won't go away
Temptation, all night and all day
