Tempted

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste

A flannel for my face

Pajamas, a hairbrush

New shoes and a case

I said to my reflection

"Let's get out of this place"

Passed the churches and the steeples

The laundry on the hill

Billboards and the buildings

Memories of it still

Keep calling and calling

But forget it all, I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on?

Now that you have gone there's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the car park, the airport

The baggage carousel

(The people keep on grindin')

Ain't wishing I was well

I said it's no occasion

(It's no story I could tell)

At my bedside empty pocket

A foot without a sock

Your body gets much closer

I fumble for the clock

Alarmed by the seduction

I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on?

Now that you have gone There's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume

A fortune all for you (a fortune all for you)

Though it's not my conscience

That hates to be untrue

I asked of my reflection

Tell me what is there to do?

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on?

There's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

There's no other
