Lyrics
I Was Tempted (Butch Leman) 4:09
I was tempted
When you first walked in the door
Instant attraction
When we stepped out onto the floor
I was all I could do
Not to break the golden rule
Lord, I was tempted
And temptation loves a fool
I was tempted
This ain't easy to say
But I need to tell you
I shouldn't be feeling this way
It?s not love or romance
But this is more than just a dance
Lord, I was tempted
And I almost jumped the fence
Chorus~
But I can never give you
Everything that you deserve
You will find another
And I'll go back to her
I was tempted
To forget all that I am
It's just that I'm married
And a happy family man
*And no matter what they say
You can't have it both ways
Lord, I was tempted
And love got in the way
Repeat from *
