(1984)

There she was.

She dragged my heart around.

No desire to hurt you, girl.

I gave it all before I found

the damage had been done.

 

Burning love.

I was too weak to fight.

Searching fingers in the night.

I should have been a stronger man.

But I was overcome.

 

Someone can steal your dream.

You know love is blind.

I can't lose you now

or I lose my mind.

 

Hold me like you know.

Stay inside my soul.

It's my love and your love goes to show...

 

That's right, that's right.

You blame it on temptation.

It happens all the time.

 

That's right, that's right.

You blame it on temptation.

It happens all the time.

 

I was wrong,

so wrong to make you cry.

All your friends may tell you why

you and I should say goodbye

the way that people do.

 

Jealous words.

Don't let them kill the flame.

I won't let you forget my name.

And no one feels the same way

that I feel for you.

 

Live for you all my life.

Live your night and day.

With you on my side

I can't lose my way.

 

I'll be a shoulder for you,

be a man of steel.

That woman's gone.

She was just a dream.

And you are real.

 

That's right, that's right.

You blame it on temptation.

It happens all the time.

 

That's right, that's right.

Only you can save me.

Save me from temptation eyes.

 

Live for you all my life.

Live your night and day.

With you on my side

I can't lose my way.

 

I'll be a shoulder for you,

I'll be your man of steel.

That woman's gone.

She was just a dream.

And you are real.

 

That's right, that's right.

You blame it on temptation.

It happens all the time.

 

That's right, that's right.

Only you can save me.

Save me from temptation eyes.
