Bio

Lyrics

The smell if your perfume, the smoke from your cigarette
You swore that I’d remember, I hoped only to forget
It seems as though it should be such an easy thing to do
But I just can’t seem to quit thinking about you

You’re temptation
Oh, you’re temptation
And temptation, Lord, it’s getting me down

I tried to walk away when you came into my life
For I surely knew you’d bring me heartache, I knew you’d bring me pain and strife
But when you looked me in the eye, I knew my last defense was gone
And now I’m just a lonely stranger who can only sing this song

You’re temptation
Oh, you’re temptation
And temptation, Lord, it’s getting me down

You hit me up for booze, and you played me for a clown
And you took all of my cash, then you rolled on out of town
I swear I’ll quit my drinking, and I’ll give up women too
If I can only find a way to get my money back from you

You’re temptation
Oh, you’re temptation
And temptation, Lord, it’s getting me down
