That's Why They Call It Temptation Lyrics

It wasn't just the promise of a thrill
Nor your tender touch alone that broke my will
It was knowing where we were going, we'd never turn back 'round
And in one reckless night we'd be forever bound

That's why they call it temptation, there's no power so strong
For our hearts could see the right thing yet we ran to the wrong
That's why they call it temptation, for long after it's through
I'm back home with her tonight (And I'm holdin' him tight) but still dreaming of you

I tried to keep my hands from where they longed to go
And I did all I could to help you, short of sayin' "No"
All of the past we burned to ashes with just one foolish kiss
And all that followed was just too much to resist

That's why they call it temptation, there's no power so strong
For our hearts could see the right thing yet we ran to the wrong
That's why they call it temptation, for long after it's through
I'm back home with her tonight (And I'm holdin' him tight) but still dreaming of you
I'm still dreaming of you
