LYRICS

(Curtis Mayfield)
Temptation, temptation...
One more, one more time to test
the willpower of me
Oh, this feelin' that I hold now
It just won't let me be

Cos' this woman, she won't leave me alone
She's gonna ruin, gonna ruin, gonna ruin my happy home
With a man's temptation

Now I've got another back home
She's the beat of my heart
I never thought no one else
Could ever tear us apart, oh no
Cos' to each other we had been so true
Until along comes a lover like you
You're a man's temptation, that's what you are

She said son you have to be strong
You've got to fight
oh you've got to fight all along
But I'm so afraid of what I may do
I got to hurt my woman for you

I've got a feeling telling me
let your heart be your guide
But I don't want, I don't want to lose either one, no
Which makes it so hard to decide
Though my mind continues to roam
Oh my heart it stays right here at home
and controls my temptation, oh yeah

I'm sorry little miss
That's the way love is
I'm sorry I can't stay
I must be on my way
Do, do, do, do... do, dah, do dah, do
