Oh yeah, spent half his life in prison
'Cause the girl was much too young
Judge handed down his decision
20 years for having too much fun

Temptation, baby, don't cha do it
Baby, don't cha do it
Temptation, oh honey, don't cha do it

I seen a shining pot of gold
Just lying in a dead man's hand
Then I had his apparition
Chasing me across this wild land

Temptation, baby, don't cha do it
Baby, don't cha do it
Temptation, oh honey, don't cha do it
Oh honey, don't cha do it

Temptation, sure feels good
Yeah, sure feels good
Temptation, and I knew
That it would and I knew that it would

Caught between what's right and wrong
Still singing the same old song, wow

He had a brother who got wasted
Just standing up for his life
It was the blood that he had tasted
That made him chase down his brothers pride

Temptation, don't cha wanna do it
Don't cha wanna do it
Temptation, oh, don't cha wanna do it
Don't cha wanna do it

Temptation, oh honey, don't cha do it
Honey, don't cha do it
Temptation, oh honey, don't cha do it, do it, do it
