Tempted Songtext
von Mathilde Santing

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
The jumpers, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
Let′s get out of this place

Past the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
The billboards and the buildings
The memories of it still
Keep calling and calling

But forget it all I know I will

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Since you have gone, there′s no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered


I'm at the carpark, the airport
The baggage carousel
The people keep on prying and wishing
I was well
I said it's no occasion
It′s no story I can tell

At my bedside empty pockets
A foot without a sock
Nobody gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
Oh I wish that it would stop

Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What′s been going on
Since you have gone, there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a novel, perfume
A fortune, all for you
But it′s not my conscience
That hates to be untrue
I ask my reflection
What is there to do


Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Since you have gone, there′s no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

Tempted by the fruit of another
So what's been going on?
Why don′t you tell me
What's been going on
Since you have gone?
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
The jumpers, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
