Lyrics Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading

Temptation

Temptation drags you down

Take you were you want to be

But deep inside you know

The reason for the fear

The fear of letting go

The fear of being so

Possessed

All the time

Being hypnotised

By those evil evil eyes

Lead me not into

Temptation

Temptation

Temptation

Paralyse the thoughts

Beat them to the ground

Offer up a sacrifice

Don't feed the fear

The fear of letting go

The fear of being so

Possessed

All the time

Being hypnotised

By those evil evil eyes

Lead me not into

Temptation

Temptation

Temptation

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

It offers everything

That you could possibly need

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

It all looks so inviting

Till it drags you to you knees

Temptation

Temptation

Temptation
