Billy Joel - Temptation Lyrics

It's time for me to be on my way I know
I've got business to conduct
And I've got places to go.
But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead
Another morning I'll have trouble
Climbing out of this bed
Because she's such a temptation
It's driving me crazy
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way
And I know what all my friends say
They're afraid that I'm losing my touch
But she's such a temptation

I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep
And I've got too many commitments
That are too hard to keep
And I try to be rational, and I try to be wise
But it all gets blown to pieces
When I look in her eyes
Because she's such a temptation
And nothing can save me
And my only salvation
Is tearing myself away
And I know what all my friends say
There's a danger in wanting too much
But she's such a temptation

I should be leaving, but I can't cut loose
I have my reasons for resistance,
But I have no excuse,
And I lose my composure,
I could use some restraint,
I never claimed to be a hero,
And never said I was a saint,
She's such a temptation
It's driving me crazy
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way
And I know what all my friends say
Better watch out, you're losing your touch
But she's such a temptation
