  • It's time for me to be on my way I know
    I've got business to conduct
    And I've got places to go
    But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead
    Another morning I'll have trouble climbing out of this bed
    Because - she's such a temptation
    It's driving me crazy
    And it's my fascination
    That's making me act this way
    And I know what all my friends say
    They're afraid that I'm losing my touch
    But she's such a temptation

    I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep
    And I've got too many commitments that are too hard to keep
    And I try to be rational
    And I try to be wise
    But it all gets blown to pieces
    When I look in her eyes
    Because - She's such a temptation
    And nothing can save me

    And my only salvation
    Is tearing myself away
    And I know what all of my friends say
    There's a danger in wanting too much
    But she's such a temptation

    I should be leaving
    But I can't cut loose
    I have my reasons for resistance
    But I have no excuse
    And I lose my composure
    I could use some restraint
    I never claimed to be a hero
    And I never said I was a saint
    She's such a temptation
    It's driving me crazy
    And it's my fascination
    That's making me act this way
    And I can just hear all my friends say
    "Better watch out, you're losing your touch"
    But she's such a temptation

    Yes she is
    She's such a temptation
    Yes she is
    Yes she is
    She's such a temptation Writer/s: BILLY JOEL
