Man's Temptation

Temptation

Temptation

One more, one more time to test

The will power of me

(Power of me)

Oh, these feelings that I hold now

It just won't let me be

(It just won't let me be)

'Cause this woman, she won't leave me alone

She's gonna ruin, gonna ruin, gonna ruin my happy home

With a man's temptation

(Man's temptation)

I've got another back home, she's the beat in my heart

(Beat in my heart)

I never thought no one else could ever tear us apart, oh no

(Could ever tear us apart)

'Cause to each other we had been so true

Until along comes a soulful thing like you

You're a man's temptation, oh that's what you are

(Man's temptation)

I went to Mama for advice

And she said "Son, you got to be strong"

"You've got to fight, oh, you got to fight it all alone"

But I'm so afraid of what I might do

I got to hurt my woman for you

I've got a feeling telling me

"Ike, you better let your heart be your guide"

(Heart be your guide)

But I don't wanna, I don't wanna lose either one, no

Which makes it so hard to decide

(It so hard to decide)

And though my mind continues to roam

Oh Mama, my heart it stays right here at home

And controls my temptation, oh yeah

It's so hard sometimes, but let's face it

That's the way love is

(Man's temptation)

To pace the floor all night long

That's the way love is

(Man's temptation)

Sometimes, you be on the dark end of the street

That's the way love is

(Man's temptation)

When time is strung out, and don't know what to do

That's the way love is

(Man's temptation)

Who can you turn to, oh where can you go?

That's the way love is

(Man's temptation)

Oh yeah, yeah

Oh, that's the way love is

(Man's temptation)
