Tempted
[Verse 1]
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
Past the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
The people and the buildings
Memories of it still
Keep calling and calling
But forget, I know I will
[Chorus]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on since you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
[Verse 2]
I'm at the airport, the car park
The baggage carousel
People keep on crowding
And I'm wishing I was well
I said it's no occasion
No story I could tell
My bedside, empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
How I wish that it would stop
[Chorus]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on since you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
[Verse 3]
Bought a novel, some perfume
A fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience
That hates to be untrue
I said to my reflection
Tell me what am I to do?
[Chorus]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on since you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
[Outro]
Oh, tempted by the fruit of another
(Tempted by the fruit of another)
Tempted but the truth is discovered
(Tempted but the truth is discovered)
Tempted by the fruit of another
(Ah, tempted by the fruit of another)
Tempted but the truth is discovered
(Tempted but the truth is discovered)
Tempted by the fruit of another
(Tempted by the fruit of another)
Tempted but the truth is discovered
(Tempted but the truth is discovered)
Tempted by the fruit of another
(Tempted by the truth of)
Tempted but the truth is discovered
(Ooh yeah)
Oh
