Temptation Lyrics by John Waite

Ignition

0

[Verse 1]
When you tell me that you're leaving
And that you've got to be alone
Sometimes you seem to me like you're far away
In some different danger zone
I couldn't stop you if I wanted
You found somebody else for sure
What you don't know is I've found some love
Like some revolving door
Yeah

[Chorus]
Temptation's gonna come into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
To leave that thing alone

[Verse 2]
You always seem to be distracted
Just like your mind is somewhere else
If you don't wanna be alone with some strange guy
You're gonna wind up on the shelf
Yeah

[Chorus]
Temptation's gonna come into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah
To leave that thing alone

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Temptation's gonna go into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Temptation's gonna go into our lives
Gonna break up our happy home
Temptation
Me and you are going through it
And we should know better
Yeah yeah
Oh
