Heaven A gateway to hope Just like a feeling I need, it′s no joke
And though it hurts me To see you this way They traded by words I′d never heard To hard to say them
Up, down, turn around; please don′t let me hit the ground Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home [2x]
Oh it′s the last time, it′s the last time Oh it′s the last time, it′s the last time
Each way I turn I know I′ll always try To break the circle That has been placed round me
From time to time I find our lost Semeaning That was urgent
To myself I don′t believe
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don′t let me hit the ground Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home [2x]
Oh it′s the last time, it′s the last time Oh it′s the last time, it′s the last time
And I have never met anyone quite like you before And I′ve never met anyone quite like you before [2x]
And I′ve never met anyone quite like you before Oh, up, down, turn around; please don′t let me hit the ground Tonight I think I walk alone, to find my soul desire to go home
And I never met anyone quite like you before Up, down, turn around; please don′t let me hit the ground Tonight I think I walk alone, to find my soul desire to go home
Up, down, turn around; please don′t let me hit the ground Tonight I think I walk alone to find my soul desire to go home [2x]
I went to see temptation yesterday In a fourplex on the old high drive Cause something in my life was runaway Or maybe to prove that I am still alive Temptation lives alone and she works all day So I waited after five on her front porch She arrived parked her car and she walked my way She smiled to see me standing at her door Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin She turned the key in the lock and let me in Ah temptation showed me what I shouldnt do Ah temptation showed me what I shouldnt do Somewhere in the world tonight Two lovers are treating each other right Somewhere else in a lonely town One lover waits an endless hour Driving home in the dark I say this time will be the last I know what I should never do At least Ill keep temptations photograph Maybe hang onto her phone number too Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin Well I dont plan to tell anyone where Ive been Ah temptation showed me what I shouldnt do Ah temptation showed me what I shouldnt do
from me to you from you to me speaking flows and thinking seems free from me to you from class to class speaking ways differ and chances pass different speech makes different minds words do express words do possess the power of temptation supporting success
there is new creation in mind there is new temptation in mind
words can distort words can deceive brought to perfection they change belief words can control first thoughts then soul help to prepare for the final goal a nation did rise a nation did fall a leader created new ideals for all there was a word there was an idea there was a belief that thinking is free
Chorus I know you see me watching you And i see you watching me But boy your bodys callin And temptation is killin me Repeat
Im chillin at this party and my posse′s bo deep And my mans on my mind in my hair what did i see The fellas lookin fly and there was one that caught my eye So i bit my lip switched my hips as i walked by saying "sexy boy you′re so fly i just might give you a try Ima write yo number in the palm of my hand Oops i forgot i got a man"
Chorus
Im thinkin to myself should i even take a chance Should i do whats on my mind or should i stay down with my man This boy here got me fienin and im wantin him so bad Should i chill or not...with everything i had Saying "sexy boy you so fly i wish i could give you a try But my mans at home waiting for me by the phone Sorry cant get my groove on!"
Chorus
Temptations is callin I be wantin you so bad i could cry Relationships callin me To do whats wrong but i gotta do right -repeat-
Chorus
Temptations is callin I be wantin you so bad i could cry Relationships callin me To do whats wrong but i gotta do right
They told you not to yield to temptation and opened their arms... ...Make your own inferences...
Inscrutable chaos in my head Inevitably Greed will take its toll Why There′s no place to hide Let me free myself
The anathema′s driving millions together in the pustules of our earth Greed and self-denial the cause of unimpeded desecration of the truth
They told you not to yield to temptation but offered you only hypocrisy and ruin
The phantom of damnation threw her coat over humanity
Captive in the shackles of this indoctrination depraved souls wished to be pure Delight in deformity the last convulsions are building up a bridge to a new era The assumption of a faded supposition Never shall I be a marionette !
Don′t you ever feel You′re sorry Don′t you ever wish The sky could open up All i do is going nowhere And i want to go back home Don′t you know That you′re so special Don′t you ever cloud Your thoughts like falling rain Wonder if i′m going somewhere Still i gotta get back home Temptation Leading me astray Frustration A time will come to pay Don′t you want to know my story Guess i could explain it if i tried I don′t want to keep expanding And i′m sorry that i lied Don′t you want To make me over Don′t you feel That everything′s a test Want to disappear inside you Because that′s the home I feel the best
[Chorus 2X: Fat Joe] Lord forgive me temptation to kill But I gotta give these crackheads the definition of real Motherfucker die - don′t look in my eye Take this wit′cha nigga, tell the devil I sent ya
