Why TemptationVerse 1:Try to break bad habits,
relax, keep my karma clean.
But you've got this talent
for undoing me.Intoxicating seduction.
Can't resist your kisses like morphine.
You stop the pain, but you stop me
from being all I can be.Pre-Chorus:Caught in
this version
of self-made purgatory.Trapped in
between
distaster and ecstasy.Chorus:Why temptation why
do you haunt me?
(Again and again.
Oh again and again.)Why temptation why
are leading me on?
(Lead, lead me on.
Lead, lead me on.)VERSE 2:Feverish and restless,
I'm helpless, I pray you'll go.
Cause you make me say "yes"
when I should say "no."Like a bad religion,
decisions I shouldn't make.
This infatuation.
Irresistible mistake.PRE-CHORUS 2:Picture
perfect
in this world of pretend.But I'm
certain
this won't look good when it ends.CHORUS (2x)BRIDGE:Is it about power?
This thing you got over me.
Is it ego?
That you won't let go and set me free.SPOKEN:Bless my pour hungry soul
that you don't feed.
You just take from me
more and more and more and more.CHORUSOUTRO:Why I fill myself up
on your emptiness?
And why do I confused this pleasure
with real happiness?Why temptation why?When I just want love, love.
When I just want love, love.
When I just want love, love.
Why won't you give that to me?
(to me, to me).So why temptation why
don't you leave me alone?
