You’re Tempting Me
/A musical lyric, in the style of classic blues, that examines the moment a tempted sinner seeks salvation.
————
Twilight flickers through the window
Makes the bottle glitter so
Glass sparkles like diamonds
Gives the bourbon a golden glow
Oh, you’re tempting me
Oh, you’re tempting me
You’re tempting me
Help me to say no
Lord, help me to say no
Funky haze clouds the barroom
Dusky taste down my throat
I gave up them coffin nails
But lord, I could use a smoke
Oh, you’re tempting me
Oh, you’re tempting me
You’re tempting me
Give me an antidote
Lord, give me an antidote
Swelt’rin evening settles
Smold’rin beauty saunters by
The sultry curves of her body
Make a hard man cry
Oh, you’re tempting me
Oh, you’re tempting me
Oh, you’re tempting me
Why won’t you let me be?
Oh, you’re tempting me
Oh, you’re tempting me
You’re tempting me
And temptation
Gets the best of me
Lord, temptation gets the best of me
You’re tempting me
Oh, you’re tempting me
Oh, oh,
You’re tempting me
