Tempted
Stuart Marty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a girl trying to steal my heart
And I'm tempted
Even though she can tear it apart, I'm tempted
In her eyes there's mystery,
Every time she smiles at me
I know how it could be and I'm tempted
Each time she looks my way, I'm tempted
Just a little more every day, I'm tempted
It's so hard to resist,
The thought of her sweet kiss
Can't take much more of this, I'm tempted

Tempted and tried, deep down inside
I can't deny that I'm tempted

Ever since she caught my eye, I'm tempted
Just one look and you'll know why I'm tempted
So if I'm burned by the flame,
There's no one but me to blame
'Cause every time she calls my name, I'm tempted

Tempted and tried, deep down inside
I can't deny that I'm tempted
Tempted and tried, deep down inside




I can't deny that I'm tempted
I'm tempted, I'm tempted, I'm tempted

Marty takes music back 25 years with this one and makes it sound so good. The big drums, guitars and the tympani make it work. Tempted to play it again.

Lady J

Yeah! Kind of a hint of Roy in his songs
