Michael Johnson Temptation song lyrics

Casey ought to know by now

she's had time enough to figure it out

she ain't gonna be no queenie

she's just way too down and out

she's saved her money but it will not help her now

Temptation, got to pay the people

temptation, till she's old and feeble

the judge says let's deliver this girl from temptation

She draws a picture on the wall

with her mind that's only partially gone

but she's got more that she can do

figuring out why the sky is blue

and she won't bother us till 1992

Temptation, got to pay the people

temptation, till she's old and feeble

the judge says let's deliver this girl from temptation

What she would've given to live in a neighborhood

just like me and you

with someone to show her the rules she's broken

but society has spoken

Temptation, got to pay the people

temptation, till she's old and feeble

the judge says let's deliver this girl from temptation
