Temptation

Semisonic


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
