I know if I remove myself from possible harm
Temptation won't bear its charm
And I'll endure this volatile hour
But I don't think safety's the highest ideal
I'll risk a slip on the forbidden fruit's peel
And there can be a thing as too much will-power
Chorus:
I'll take temptation
I think I would've like Eve if I'd met her
If I do what I should than it's all good
If not, sometimes it's even better
I'll take temptation
Go ahead, give the Devil a foothold
I'd rather be singed by the heat than left out in the cold
I know: keep a crowd away from a riot
Avoid chocolate shops when on a diet
Keep temptation far at bay
But to not even have a choice
It's like losing your voice
I'd rather risk going astray
Chorus
Bridge:
Go ahead, go ahead
And tempt me
I think I will be okay...
I'll take tempation
Go ahead, give the Devil a foothold
I'd rather be singed by the heat than left out in the cold
