I went to see temptation yesterday   In a fourplex on the old high drive   'Cause something in my life was runaway   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 and 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, temptation showed me what I shouldn't do   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 an endless hour      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 onto 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, temptation showed me what I shouldn't do   Ah, temptation showed me what I shouldn't do
