Temptation to Exist Songtext
von New York Dolls

Temptation to exist
Give me another kiss
Tell me how you love me
A mesmerizing kiss
That I can′t resist
Say I'm the way you want me

So I can breathe your perfume
Dancin′ with you 'round the room

Long after a masquerade
Stripped of facade and costume


The drag with being born
It's really not a thorn
Baby, it′s a dagger
Most people would deny
Say it′s a piece of pie
To you it doesn't matter

I hear about the sad affair
Up on the heights of despair

Someone′s always perishing
By the self they've assumed

Temptation to exist
Obsession to persist
Death-defying romance
Give me another kiss
Show me what I miss
Baby, since our last dance

So I can get back in tune
Dancin′ with you 'round the room

Long after a masquerade
No facade, no costume
