Tempted

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place

Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep calling, me back
But forget it all I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
Ain't no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I'm at the airport, the carpark, the baggage carousel
The people keep on pushing, ain't wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion, there's no story I could tell"
At my bedside, no cash, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by
The seduction, calling me back
I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone ain't no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone ain't no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
I've been tempted
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
