Oh Sweet Temptation

(album: Steppin' Out - 1976)

Oh sweet temptation, it's hard to turn away
I look into your bedroom eyes and Lord, I want to stay
But I'd hate myself in the morning and you would hate me too
Cause after the fire of a night's desire I'd have to say goodbye to you

It must be the wine and the way the candle shines
That makes me wanna take you through the night
One of us must be strong before we both do wrong
And your wedding band keeps saying it's not right

Oh sweet temptation, it's hard to turn away
I look into your bedroom eyes and Lord, I want to stay
But I'd hate myself in the morning and you would hate me too
Cause after the fire of a night's desire I'd have to say goodbye to you

I can feel your trembling hands and tell you really need a man
And I couldn't satisfy the need in you
Well, it's not that I'm so smart I just don't wanna break your heart
Go on home and love the one you're married to

Oh sweet temptation, it's hard to turn away
I look into your bedroom eyes and Lord, I want to stay
But I'd hate myself in the morning and you would hate me too
Cause after the fire of a night's desire I'd have to say goodbye to you
