Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's time for me to be on my way, I know
I've got business to conduct
And I've got places to go
[Verse 2]
But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead
Another morning I'll have trouble
Climbing out of this bed
[Verse 3]
Because she's such a temptation
It's driving me crazy
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way
[Verse 4]
And I know what all of my friends say
They're afraid that I'm losing my touch
But she's such a temptation
[Verse 5]
Oh, I look so tired 'cause I don't get much sleep
I've got too many commitments
That are too hard to keep
[Verse 6]
And I try to be rational and I try to be wise
But it all gets blown to pieces
When I look in her eyes
[Verse 7]
Because she's such a temptation
And nothing can save me
But I might find salvation
If I can tear myself away
[Verse 8]
'Cause I know what all of my friends say
There's a danger in wanting too much
But she's such a temptation
[Verse 9]
Oh yeah, I should be leaving, but I can't cut loose
I have my reasons for resistance
But I have no excuse
[Verse 10]
And I lose my composure, I could use some restraint
I never claimed to be a hero
And I never said I was a saint
[Verse 11]
She's such a temptation
And it's driving me crazy
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way
[Verse 12]
And I can just hear all my friends say
"Better watch out, you're losing your touch"
But she's such a temptation
[Verse 13]
Yes, she is
She's such a temptation
Yes, she is, oh, yes, she is
She's such a temptation
