temptation
Hot Shots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should have known you were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone, you were temptation
It would be thrilling
If you were willing
If it can never be
Pity me for you are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart, take it and say
We'll never part
I'm just a slave
Only a slave to you, temptation
You were born to be kissed
I can't resist.
You are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart, take it and say
We'll never part
I'm just a slave
Only a slave to you, temptation

The song starts off with the singer saying “You came, I was alone, I should have known you were temptation”, which implies that the person who walked into the singer’s life was unexpected, but ultimately they were seduced by their charm. The next line, “You smiled, luring me on, my heart was gone, you were temptation” further emphasizes the power the person has over the singer. They were able to win over the heart of the singer with just a smile, even though the singer was aware that they would be tempted.
The chorus of the song, “Here is my heart, take it and say we’ll never part, I’m just a slave, only a slave to you, temptation” demonstrates how the singer feels completely captivated and helpless by the person they are attracted to. They are willing to give their heart to this person and be completely at their mercy. Throughout the song, the singer is aware of the dangerous power that the other person has over them, but they are still helpless to resist it. The final line of the song, “You are temptation and I am yours” is a declaration of the singer’s love and submission to the person who has tempted them.
