Tempted

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste

A flannel for my face, pajamas, a hairbrush

New shoes and a case

I said to my reflection, "Let's get out of this place"

Passed the church and the steeple

The laundry on the hill

Billboards and the buildings

Memories of it still keep calling and calling

But forget it all, I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on?

Now that you have gone, there's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the car park, the airport, the baggage carousel

The people keep on grindin'

Ain't wishing I was well

I said, "It's no occasion

It's no story I could tell"

At my bedside, empty pocket

A foot without a sock

Your body gets much closer

I fumble for the clock

Alarmed by the seduction

I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on?

Now that you have gone, there's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume

A fortune, all for you

But it's not my conscience

That hates to be untrue

I asked of my reflection, "Tell me, what is there to do?"

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on?

Now that you have gone, there's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

Oh, tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?)

Tempted but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?)

Tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?)

Tempted but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?)

Tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?)

Tempted but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?)

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered
