(written by: Bon Jovi)



Place my missing picture on my beer I'm running away from home

Sam, I'm just a man, a rusted bucket of flesh and bone

Someday I'll seek forgiveness for the sweet smell of her breath

She touched my hand and asked for a check, I put out my cigarette

Chorus:

Temptation

Temptation

Go home, Lord

I'm walking straight into the ocean

Tell the tide I'm on my way

I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword

When the angels hung out in Eden they saw Adam chasing Eve

They said grab your boots, your coat, your hat

My boy, it's time that you leave

She asked me if I'd like to play but she knew that I was broke

I cashed in the my chips a month ago

This smile's just mirrors and smoke

Chorus:

Temptation

Temptation

Go home, Lord

I'm walking straight into the ocean

Tell the tide I'm on my way

I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword

Twist my wrist

Tell me I should resist

But the flesh is weak

Here comes the kiss

Twist my wrist

I can't go on like this

The flesh is weak

Here it comes here it comes.

Chorus:

Temptation

Temptation

Go home, Lord

I'm walking straight into the ocean

Tell the tide I'm on my way

I'm gonna hang my head down tonight on Damocles' sword
