I went to see temptation yesterday In a four-plex out on the old high drive 'Cause something in my life was run away Or maybe to prove that I am still alive Temptation lives alone and she works all day So I waited after five on her front porch She arrived, parked her car, then 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 and let me in Ah, ah, ah Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do Ah, ah, 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 and endless hour, yeah 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 Temptation's photograph Maybe hang on to 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, ah, ah Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do Ah, ah, ah Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do Yeah, ah, ah, ah Showed me what I shouldn't do Ah, ah, ah, Oooh, ah, ah, ah Showed me, showed me, ah, ah, ah
