Temptation Songtext
von Semisonic

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.
