Low Man's Joe: TUNES
Temptation
(Low Man's Joe)
Hey Janie have you heard the latest word out on the street?
They say there’s poison in your kiss and it tastes so bittersweet.
One look in your eyes can knock a man right off his feet.
I know that you could love me, but your love ain’t made for free.
I feel a strange desire digging deep into my bones.
I know a spot in the corner where you and I can be alone.
I’ve been holding on forever with this lonely heart made out of stone,
It’s getting harder, harder harder…temptation.
You’re my dirty dark addiction, you’re my terminal disease,
You can raise me up to heaven and knock me back down to my knees.
Hold me, hurt me, heal me, oh darling baby please, I want you so bad.
Now underneath the covers, there I lie guilty as sin.
In the darkness in the shadows, I see the morning creeping in.
Wrapped in each other’s arms, ain’t so innocent as it seems.
Wish I could stop the hands of time, and slip inside your dreams.
I’ve left my sense of reason, baby, on those velvet sheets.
And I still hear your heavy breathing, as I’m walking down the street.
My heart whispers your name now baby with every single beat,
It’s getting harder, harder harder…temptation.
