Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Payin' dues and learned vices
[Verse 2]
When the big guns start to shootin'
With their bullets of deception, oh, yeah
With a smile upon your face
Goin' from second hand to almost new
[Verse 3]
Well, I try to live life eye to eye, eye to eye
But I say, I find it far too tough (Tough), tough, tough, tough
[Verse 4]
Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
'Cause you gimme (Gimme)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation, baby
[Verse 5]
Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
'Cause you gimme (Gimme)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation, baby
[Verse 6]
Sing along, sing along, baby
Sing along for the love of the children
[Verse 7]
And if this was to be true
Say, I'd give all the tea in China
And maybe all the tulips
In Amsterdam
[Verse 8]
Well, I try to live life eye to eye
But I say, I find it far too tough (Tough), tough, tough, tough
[Verse 9]
Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
'Cause you gimme (Gimme)
Gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
[Verse 10]
Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
'Cause you gimme (Gimme)
Gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
[Verse 11]
Sing along, baby
For the love of the children
[Verse 12]
At first it made me move
Until I'm so damn close
Well, take me back again, oh, take me back again
[Verse 13]
I'll say I'm mighty thankful
But it's much too easy
For payin' dues and learnin' vices
But no, but no, but oh, no
Won't waste my fuckin' spirit
My spirit
[Verse 14]
Whoa, show me one more sign
Give me one more time
'Cause you gimme (Gimme)
You gimme (Gimme)
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
[Verse 15]
Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
'Cause you gimme, you gimme
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
[Verse 16]
I want peace, love and understanding
Peace, love and understanding
Peace, love and understanding
To last
[Verse 17]
Sing along, sing along, baby
Sing along, sing along, baby
Sing along for the love of the children
Say, yeah
Whoa, yeah
[Verse 18]
Oh, try to live life eye to eye, eye to eye
But I say, I find it far too tough, tough, tough, tough, tough
Say, I find it far too tough
