Temptation

by Prince And The Revolution

on Around The World In A Day (1985)

[Intro]
Sex
Temptation
Lust
Pop, go mama

[Verse 1]
Everybody on this earth has got a vice
And mine, little darling, mine is the opposite of ice
Mine is the running hot water of the daughter of morality
In other words, this little Prince thinks a lot about you, see?
Baby, baby, baby
I'm guilty in the first degree

[Chorus]
Temptation
Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust
Temptation
All my fingers in the pool go splash we must

[Verse 2]
Everybody in this room
Everybody in this room has got an urge
What's yours, baby?
Mine is temptation, it reigns at a party where lovers splurge
Pop go mama when daddy gets a little too much
You know what I'm talking about?
Purple electricity whenever our bodies touch
Oh baby, I love it when our bodies touch

[Chorus]
Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust
Temptation
All my fingers in the pool go splash we must
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation

Wait a minute now

Working my body with a hot flash of animal lust
Temptation
All my fingers in the pool go splash we must
Temptation
Working my body
Working my body
Working my body

[Spoken Breakdown]
Temptation
I'm not talking about just ordinary temptation, people
I'm talking about the kind of temptation that'll make you do things
Oh, oh, temptation
Oh, darling, I can almost taste the wetness between your
Temptation, temptation
I'm not talking about any old kind of temptation, people
I'm talking about
I'm talking about
Sexual temptation
A lover
I need a lover, a lover, I need a... right now
You, I want you
I want you in the worst way
I want you

[Outro]
Oh, silly man, that's not how it works
You have to want her for the right reasons
I do!
You don't, now die
No! No!
Let me go, let me go
I'm sorry
I'll be good
This time I promise
Love is more important than sex
Now I understand
I have to go now
I don't know when I'll return
Good-bye
