There's a girl trying to steal my heart And I'm tempted Even though she can tear it apart, I'm tempted In her eyes there's mystery, Every time she smiles at me I know how it could be and I'm tempted Each time she looks my way, I'm tempted Just a little more every day, I'm tempted It's so hard to resist, The thought of her sweet kiss Can't take much more of this, I'm tempted Tempted and tried, deep down inside I can't deny that I'm tempted Ever since she caught my eye, I'm tempted Just one look and you'll know why I'm tempted So if I'm burned by the flame, There's no one but me to blame 'Cause every time she calls my name, I'm tempted Tempted and tried, deep down inside I can't deny that I'm tempted Tempted and tried, deep down inside I can't deny that I'm tempted I'm tempted, I'm tempted, I'm tempted
