You came, I was alone
I should have known
You were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone
And you were temptation

 It would be thrilling if you were willing
 And, if it can never be, pity me

For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist, you are temptation, I
Am yours, here is my heart
Take it and say that we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave

To you, temptation
I'm    your    slave!!!
