Tempted - Rita Coolidge

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

Past 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

In no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I’m at the airport, the car park

The baggage carousel

People keep and pushin'

I’m wishing I was well

I said «it's no occasion

It’s no story I could tell»

At my bedside empty pocket

A foot without a sock

Your body get’s much closer

I fumble for the clock

Alarmed by the seduction

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

In no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, some perfume

A fortune all for you

But it’s not my conscience

That hates to be untrue

I asked of my reflection

Tell me what is there to do

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What’s been going on

Now that you have gone

In no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered
