temptation

it's time for me to be on my way i know

i've got business to conduct

and i've got places to go

but i can't help looking at her sleeping instead

another morning i'll have trouble climbing out of this bed

because - she's such a temptation

it's driving me crazy

and it's my fascination

that's making me act this way

and i know what all my friends say

they're afraid that i'm losing my touch

but she's such a temptation

i look so tired cause i don't get much sleep

and i've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep

and i try to be rational

and i try to be wise

but it all gets blown to pieces

when i look in her eyes

because - she's such a temptation

and nothing can save me

and my only salvation

is tearing myself away

and i know what all of my friends say

there's a danger in wanting too much

but she's such a temptation

i should be leaving

but i can't cut loose

i have my reasons for resistance

but i have no excuse

and i lose my composure

i could use some restraint

i never claimed to be a hero

and i never said i was a saint

she's such a temptation

it's driving me crazy

and it's my fascination

that's making me act this way

and i can just hear all my friends say

better watch out
