Every time you turn around
You spy another place to go
Constantly needing change
You find it hard to rearrange
Your life is what it is
And you do what you do
No, it's not easy to love
But surely you can rise above...
...temptation
Ooh, la la la la, temptation
Temptation
(All the temptation)
Temptation
Oh, now every time you turn around
All you can see is confusion and pain
Now we've got so many material things
But what we want are wings
To fly beyond our lonely lives
To make love to somebody true
But there's so many hungry people around
Just waiting for stars to crash to the ground
Temptation
That's all it is, it's just temptation
Ooh, la la la la, temptation
Temptation
And all of the voices urging you
To sing your song
But in the sad skies behind your eyes
The spirit isn't too strong
Oh, but music, sweet misery
Carries us up and away from trouble
Leaving our loved ones behind
Now you say you may lose your mind
That's temptation
(Always temptation)
That's all it is, it's just temptation
(Always, always)
Starin' you right in the face, temptation
Ooh, la la la la, temptation
Ooh, temptation
Ooh, temptation
Ooh, temptation
