Lyrics for Man's Temptation

One more time to test The will power of me These feelings that I hold now Just won't let me be This woman won't leave me alone She's trying to ruin my happy home With a man's temptation Now I've got another back home Who's the beat of my heart I never thought no one else Could ever tear us apart To each other we had been so true Until alas come a love like you With a man's temptation I know I've got to be strong I've got to fight this all along So afraid of what I must do I got to take my woman or you Now, I've got a feeling telling me To let your heart be your guide I don't want to lose either one Which makes it hard to decide Though my mind continues to roam Oh, baby, my heart it stays at home Controlling my temptation I'm sorry little miss That's the way love is I'm sorry I can't stay I must be on my way Do, do, do, do Do, dah, do dah, do
