Who s this kid with his mumbo jumbo Living in air-conditioned limbo Though they treat him just like a guest He s living under threat of arrest Now that he s finally trying to make some sense He drinks in self-defense Give me temptation The subtle touch of authority will Take you anytime down to the station You say that it s alright by me Now you re living with the curse of sophistication Now that you re shackled up to the rigmarole With absolute control I see you lying so wide awake After I ve given you all that you can take So for heaven s sake Give me temptation Still you want to succeed so badly Finding your life will not be deadly You tell me you can take it or leave it Sometimes I think that you really believe it You re just itching to break her secret laws As you go from claws to clause Give me temptation |
