Lyrics

Temptation
words and music by Richard Mekdeci

Temptation, everywhere I go.
Temptation, I see you everywhere I go.
Don't know how long I can resist you.
Why don't you leave me alone?

I saw you down in the district dancin' with the other girls.
Saw you cross the street today, wearin' high heels and pearls.
Even went to church on Sunday mornin',
And Lord have mercy, there you were.

Temptation, everywhere I go.
Temptation, I see you everywhere I go.
And I got a sweet, lovin' woman
Waiting for me at home.

There's Suzy at the office
Gayle at the grocery store.
There's Xavier who cuts my hair
And that pretty girl next door.

Temptation, everywhere I go
Are you an angel or the devil?
Sometimes I just don't know.

On the elevator
Or at a traffic light
My wife's best friend,
Or my best friend's wife.

Temptation I see you everywhere I go.
Don't know how long I can resist you.
Why don't you leave me alone.
