Temptation Lyrics

So sweet temptation
So sweet temptation

I'm not a sinner, I'm just a man
I live my life and do the best that I can
I see it coming, I've seen the signs
I hear the voices in the back of my mind

Don't care what's right or wrong
I'll take my chances

So sweet temptation
It's just a matter of time
I hear the voices inside
So deep temptation
I see the envy and lust
I feel the need and the must

This situation, it's here to stay
This situation's never going away
No use in running, nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run from what I'm feeling inside

Don't care what's right or wrong
I'll take my chances

So sweet temptation
It's just a matter of time
I hear the voices inside
So deep temptation
I see the envy and lust
I feel the need and the must

So sweet temptation
I feel it coming my way
I feel it day after day
So deep temptation
I'm in a web of deceit
I guess I'm in too deep

This voice inside me won't let me be
Temptation washes over me
It's all around me every day
In everything I do or say

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
