I went to see temptation yesterday
   In a fourplex on the old high drive
   Cause something in my life was runaway
   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 and 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... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
   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 an endless hour
  
   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 temptations photograph
   Maybe hang onto 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... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
   Ah... Temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
