Lyrics of "Heaven 17 – Temptation"

I′ve nev­er been closer
I tried to understand
That cer­tain feeling
Carved by another's hand, no
But it′s too late to hesitate
We can't keep on liv­ing like this

Leave no track
Don't look back

(All I desire) temptation
(Keep climbin′ high­er and high­er) temptation
(Adorable creatures) temptation
(With unac­cept­able fea­tures) temptation
(Trouble is com­ing) temptation
(It′s just the high cost of lov­ing) temptation
(You can take it or leave it) temptation
(But you'd bet­ter believe it)

You′ve got to make me an offer
That can­not be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours, oh
Step by step, and day by day
Every second counts, I can′t break away

Leave no trace
Hide your face

(All I desire) temptation
(Keep climbin' high­er and high­er) temptation
(You can take it or leave it) temptation
(But you′d bet­ter believe it)

(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Step by step, and day by day)
(Every second counts, I can't break away)
Keep us from temptation
Keep us from temptation
Keep us from temptation
Lead us not into temptation

(All I desire) temptation
(Keep climbin' high­er and high­er) temptation
(Adorable creatures) temptation
(With unac­cept­able fea­tures) temptation
(Trouble is com­ing) temptation
(It′s just the high cost of lov­ing) temptation
(You can take it or leave it) temptation
(But you′d bet­ter believe it)

You've got to make me an offer
That can­not be ignored
So let′s head for home now
Everything I have is yours, oh
Step by step, and day by day
Every second counts, I can't break away

Leave no trace
Hide your face

(Trying to find it) temptation
(You′ve got to get up behind it) temptation
(Put your dime in the hot slot) temptation
(But it's a mil­lion to one shot) temptation
(You think that you′re right now) temptation
(You're gonna face it tonight now) temptation
(Ooh, give me a break­down) temptation
(Because it's time for a shake­down) temptation

Temptation (tempta­tion)
Temptation
Temptation (tempta­tion)
Temptation
Temptation (tempta­tion)
Temptation
Temptation

It′s just tempta­tion (try­ing to find it)
Temptation (get up behind it)
Temptation (dime in the hot slot)
Temptation (mil­lion to one shot)
Temptation (think that you′re right)
Temptation (you're gonna face it tonight now)
Temptation (give me a breakdown)
Temptation (time for a shakedown)
