Still Tempting
[Spoken Intro]
It was on a cold winter night
January 1964
Detroit, Michigan
Five young men walked into music history
Not knowing that they would become part of a legacy that would outlive them all
The sound of Motown
So please, listen to this song
For it's the spirit and the creed
Of the Temptations
We hope we are still tempting
[Verse 1]
Our dreams were plenty but the street were windy
With our stomachs empty
Early morning getting ready
To work at the plant building Fords and yetis
Five good friends and we made
Every weekend a dudе jumped at Sunday, a church pew
Love of music was all wе knew
So we pushed on and stayed strong
[Chorus]
In the mist of a storm
We held on
And made a pack that no man could come between our bond
Clap, slide, step
Come back together in perfect harmony
Still family, strong together, now together
Still tempting for you
[Verse 2]
I saw the world from a tour bus
Woke up mornings not knowing where I was
The curtains came down on a few of us
And the stage lights got so bright
And then David would roar
And Eddie had a voice that would sail and soar
People would’ve called for an encore
Those were the best days of my life (my life)
[Chorus]
In the mist of a storm
We held on
And made a pack that no man could come between our bond
Clap, slide, step
Come back together in perfect harmony
Still family, strong together, now together
Still tempting for you
Da da da da
You
You know it true
Da da da da
[Verse 3]
Some of the faces change but remain the same
Soul of Motorcity running through our veins
There's something uplifting worth listening
So we fight to keep it right
Let their memories live through
There's something uplifting worth listening
Still tempting to you
[Chorus]
In the mist of a storm
We held on
And made a pack that no man could come between our bond
Clap, slide, step
Come back together in perfect harmony
Still family, strong together, now together
Still tempting for you
