Doin' Wrong Feel Right
Temptation Tango: When Wrong Feels So Right
Lyrics
Well I really should go baby I know
Expressing the awareness of the need to leave despite hesitation.
Where this thing is goin'
Reflecting uncertainty about the direction of the relationship.
One more glass of wine would just cloud my mind
Resisting the temptation of another glass of wine to maintain clarity of mind.
Oh and leave the door wide open
Leaving the possibility open for someone to enter freely.
For more conversation more temptation
Acknowledging the potential for more conversations and temptations.
It's more than I can handle tonight
Feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of the situation.
You could make doin' wrong make doin' wrong feel right
Suggesting that the other person can make wrongdoing feel right.
It's not worth the risk one little kiss oh will just lead to another
Weighing the consequences of a simple kiss leading to further actions.
Then where would it end
Questioning where the chain of actions initiated by a kiss would end.
More than just friends tryin' not to be discovered
Describing a situation where the involved individuals are more than just friends.
Holdin' one another underneath the covers
Depicting physical intimacy under the covers.
That's a fire we can't afford to ignite
Highlighting the dangerous and uncontrollable nature of a particular desire.
You could make doin' wrong make doin' wrong feel right
Reiterating the idea that the other person can make wrongdoing seem right.
I'd be lyin' if I told you it was easy for me
Admitting the difficulty of the situation.
Oh that want to in your eyes is so easy to see
Noting the visible desire in the other person's eyes.
But all of these feelings that I'm feelin' so strong
Balancing strong feelings with an awareness of the reasons why it's wrong.
Don't outnumber all the reasons it's wrong
Recognizing that reasons for avoiding wrongdoing outweigh intense feelings.
So I'll just walk away no room for gray
Deciding to walk away from the situation with no room for ambiguity.
In a black and white moment
Describing a decisive moment without shades of gray.
There's no reason to make this kind of mistake
Stressing the unnecessary nature of making a regrettable mistake.
Oh it sounds so simple don't it
Highlighting the apparent simplicity of avoiding such mistakes.
But when I'm all alone reaching for the phone
Anticipating a challenging internal struggle when alone.
It's gonna be one hell of a fight
Emphasizing the difficulty in resisting the urge to contact the other person.
You could make doin' wrong make doin' wrong feel right
Reiterating the idea that the other person has the power to make wrongdoing feel right.
