Temptation - Billy Joel

It’s time for me to be on my way I know

I’ve got business to conduct

And I’ve got places to go

But I can’t help looking at her sleeping instead

Another morning I’ll have trouble

Climbing out of this bed

Because she’s such a temptation

It’s driving me crazy

And it’s my fascination

That’s making me act this way

And I know what all of my friends say

They’re afraid that I’m losing my touch

But she’s such a temptation

Oh, I look so tired 'cause I don’t get much sleep

I’ve got too many commitments

That are too hard to keep

And I try to be rational and I try to be wise

But it all gets blown to pieces

When I look in her eyes

Because she’s such a temptation

And nothing can save me

And my only salvation

If I can tear myself away

'Cause I know what all of my friends say

There’s a danger in wanting too much

But she’s such a temptation

Oh yeah, I should be leaving but I can’t cut loose

I have my reasons for resistance

But I have no excuse

And I lose my composure, I could use some restraint

I never claimed to be a hero

And I never said I was a saint

She’s such a temptation

It’s driving me crazy

And it’s my fascination

That’s making me act this way

And I can just hear all my friends say

«Better watch out, you’re losing your touch»

But she’s such a temptation

Yes she is

She’s such a temptation

Yes she is, oh yes she is

She’s such a temptation
