Temptation
Seduction Unleashed: Unraveling the Allure in Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 'Temptation'
Lyrics
You came, I was alone
You arrived, and I was by myself
I should have known you were temptation
I should have realized that you were irresistible allure
You smiled, luring me on
You smiled, enticing me forward
My heart was gone, you were temptation
My heart was captivated; you were the irresistible temptation
It would be thrilling
It would be exciting
If you were willing
If you were ready and willing
If it can never be
Even if it can never happen
Pity me for you are temptation and I am yours
Pity me, for you embody temptation, and I am devoted to you
Here is my heart, take it and say
Presenting my heart, accept it and declare
We'll never part
We will never be separated
I'm just a slave
I am merely a servant
Only a slave to you, temptation
Exclusively a servant to you, the irresistible temptation
You were born to be kissed
You were destined to be kissed
I can't resist.
I cannot resist
You are temptation and I am yours
You are temptation, and I am completely devoted to you
Here is my heart, take it and say
Presenting my heart, accept it and declare
We'll never part
We will never be separated
I'm just a slave
I am merely a servant
Only a slave to you, temptation
Exclusively a servant to you, the irresistible temptation
