Lyrics

You know, sometimes
Another woman come in your life
You got to forsake what you have at home
You don't know what you're doin'
'Cause you love that little one that's home
That's what this song is all about
One more time to test the will power of me
These feeling that I hold inside just won't let me be
You know, this woman won't leave me alone
She's tryin' to ruin my happy home
With man's temptation
Well, I've got the other back home who's the beat in my heart
You know, I've been so much, so much in love
I never thought we'd drift apart
To each other we have been so true
Until along come a woman like you
With man's temptation
I know I've got to be strong
I got to stand up where I belong
So afraid for what I must do
I've got to choose my woman or you
Well, I've got a feeling telling me, "Let your heart be your guide"
But you know, I'm so much in love with either one
Which makes it hard to decide
Though my mind, my mind continue to roam
You know, my heart stay right here at home
To control my temptation
I'm sorry, little miss
That's the way it is
I'm sorry I can't stay, hey, hey
You know I got, you know I got
Got to get away
Got to, I got to, I got to keep on movin', hey, hey
I gotta stay away from them people
I gotta keep, I gotta keep little thing on hold right now
And leave the other stuff alone
