Man's Temptation

(Curtis Mayfield)

One more time to test the will power of me

These feelings that I hold now

Just won't let me be

This woman won't leave me alone

She's trying to ruin my happy home

With a man's temptation

Now I've got another back home

Who's the beat of my heart

I never thought no one else

Could ever tear us apart

To each other we had been so true

Until alas come a love like you

With a man's temptation

I know I've got to be strong

I've got to fight this all along

So afraid of what I must do

I got to take my woman or you

Now, I've got a feeling telling me

To let your heart be your guide

I don't want to lose either one

Which makes it hard to decide

Though my mind continues to roam

Oh Baby, my heart it stays at home

Controlling my temptation

I'm sorry little miss

That's the way love is

I'm sorry I can't stay

I must be on my way

Do, do, do, do... do, dah, do dah, do
