Temptation Lyrics

Billy Joel Temptation

It's time for me to be on my way I knowI've got business to conduct
And I've got places to goBut I can't help looking at her sleeping instead
Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out of this bed
Because she's such a temptationIt's driving me crazyAnd it's my fascination
That's making me act this wayAnd I know what all my friends say
They're afraid that I'm losing my touchBut she's such a temptation
I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep
And I've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep
And I try to be rationalAnd I try to be wiseBut it all gets blown to pieces
When I look in her eyesBecause she's such a temptationAnd nothing can save me
But I might find salvationIf I can tear myself away
'Cause I know what all of my friends sayThere's a danger in wanting too much
But she's such a temptationI should be leavingBut I can't cut it loose
I have my reasons for resistanceBut I have no excuseAnd I lose my composure
I could use some restraintI never claimed to be a hero
And I never said I was a saintShe's such a temptationIt's driving me crazy
And it's my fascinationThat's making me act this way
And I can just hear all my friends say
"Better watch out, you're losing your touch"But she's such a temptation
Yes she isShe's such a temptationYes she isYes she isShe's such a temptation
