temptation
Corina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, theirs something I think you should know
I don't think I'll be needing you anymore
It's just one of those things
I'm sure you'll understand

We've been together so long
I never meant to do you wrong
But I've found someone new
Theirs nothing you can say or do
To try and change my mind
Would be a waste of time
Lets go our separate ways
Theirs nothing more to say
Just try to ease your mind
'Cause I don't mean to hurt you
It's just he's knows to treat me like a special lady
It's time you look away
He's knows just how to touch me
Maybe someday you'll understand

[Chorus]
Temptation is a part of life
It doesn't matter if its wrong or right
Temptation is a part of life
It doesn't matter if its wrong or right
It makes you do what you love

He's knows I can't resist
Ooh, his perfect lips
When he looks in my eyes
I feel like I've been hypnotized
I've wanted him for so long
What I felt was oh so strong
Times, feelings change
Things were not the same
Just try to ease your mind
'Cause I don't mean to hurt you
It's just he's knows to treat me like a special lady
It's time you look away
He's knows just how to touch me
Maybe someday you'll understand





[Chorus: x4]

Baby, there's something I think you should know (hey baby)
I don't think I'll be needing you anymore
It's just one of those things
I'm sure you'll understand

We've been together so long
I never meant to do you wrong
But I've found someone new
There's nothing you can say or do
To try and change my mind
Would be a waste of time
Let's go our seperate ways
There's nothing more to say
Just try to ease your mind
'Cause I don't mean to hurt you
It's just he knows to treat me like a special lady
Each time you look away
He knows just how to touch me
Maybe someday you'll understand

Lawrence Davis

Was just at a freestyle concert today on Staten Island, NY...didn't know the full lineup until they were announced...well Lulu & Lala mentioned "Temptation" and I said Corina?? Lo & behold, there she was, amazing & smoking performer with a sense of humour, self-deprecating, keeping it real, curse words & everything...can't take the South Bronx out of the girl...she went through some tough breakups...I'd date her in a heartbeat...

I was 12, not quite yet 13. Had forgotten about it 'til I heard it on the radio. 😊❤️

I love how this song took the 80s freestyle sound and KICKED it into the 90s! Darker, sleeker, sexier and more mysterious!

Mama Romi

This was always my favorite jam growing up!!! Every time it used to come on the radio, my grandma used to blast it no matter where we were!!! Good memories..

Sherri T

Love Corina's style, dance, and charisma! One of my favorite songs too! Go Corina, Go Corina!
