temptation
Barry Gibb Lyrics

There she was
He saw her and noticed her presence

She dragged my heart around
She made him feel emotions he had never felt before

No desire to hurt you, girl
He never intended to cause her pain

I gave it all before I found
He had invested heavily before realizing it was a mistake

The damage had been done
He could not undo the harm caused by his actions

Burning love
He felt an intense passion for her

I was too weak to fight
He lacked the strength to resist her allure

Searching fingers in the night
He was unable to resist touching her

I should have been a stronger man
He regrets not having the strength to resist temptation

But I was overcome
He was unable to resist temptation

Someone can steal your dream
Someone else's actions can ruin your plans for the future

You know love is blind
Love can often cloud one's judgement

I can't lose you now
He cannot bear the thought of losing her

Or I lose my mind
He would become unhinged without her

Hold me like you know
He wants her to hold him in a way that communicates intimacy

Stay inside my soul
He wants her to be a part of him at a deep level

It's my love and your love goes to show
Their love is evident and on full display

That's right, that's right
He is affirming his own thoughts and feelings

You blame it on temptation
He recognizes that his actions were driven by temptation

It happens all the time
He acknowledges that he is far from the only person to struggle with temptation

Only you can save me
He believes that she can save him from himself

Save me from temptation eyes
He wants her to protect him from the allure of temptation

I was wrong
He acknowledges his own mistakes

So wrong to make you cry
He realizes he was responsible for causing her pain

All your friends may tell you why
Her friends may try to convince her to leave him

you and I should say goodbye
He suggests that they should end their relationship

the way that people do
He recognizes that this is a common experience for many people

Jealous words
He recognizes that jealousy can often lead to hurtful speech

Don't let them kill the flame
He wants them to fight against the negativity of others and keep their love alive

I won't let you forget my name
He wants to ensure that she never forgets him and what they had together

And no one feels the same way
He believes that no one else could love her in the way that he does

that I feel for you
He expresses his deep love for her

Live for you all my life
He wants to dedicate his entire life to her

Live your night and day
He wants to be with her always, both day and night

With you on my side
He wants her to always be by his side

I'll be a shoulder for you
He wants to be there for her, emotionally and physically

Be a man of steel
He wants to be her rock, strong and unyielding

That woman's gone
He recognizes that the woman who once had his heart is now gone

She was just a dream
He realizes that his past feelings were purely a fantasy

And you are real
He recognizes that she is the true love of his life
