TEMPTATION
Lyrics by Anita Benner
When you find the woman of your dreams
Time passes love’s not all it seems
You make the move to try someone new
The woman of your dreams
Won’t wait while you gallivant around
Looking for what you’ve already found
Temptation to try someone new
Limitation if you know what’s best for you
If you think love’s just for having fun
That there’s no need to have just one
I hope you take time to think that through
Before you find yourself alone
and sad regretful and forlorn
Wishing your heart and hers weren’t torn
Temptation to try someone new
A new relation, do you wanna lose what’s in front of you
Love’s an ever changing sea
That flows within you.
It swells and overwhelms
If you are not strong.
And she comes tumbling, crashing and pushing
Takes you down, down, deep down.
Love moves in waves and tides
Can keep you guessing
But its lows and then its highs
Are natural phases
You must learn to see past the hard times
Till you’re dry and standing on your feet again
When the time has come to settle down
The lady’s picked her wedding gown
To say you’re not ready yet won’t do
There’ll never be a perfect time
For you to ask for her hand
Don’t wait time keeps on passing and
your hourglass is almost out of sand
Temptation to try someone new
Hesitation, she’ll say goodbye to you
