Merle Travis — Sweet Temptation

Sweet temptation, that's what you are to me That's all you'll always be, it seems Sweet temptation, you smile and pass me by But still you occupy my dreams Maybe I've got lots a' hidden charms You'd find if you'd just hold me in your arms But you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough You make it awful tough for me Sweet temptation, the most delicious peach Is always outta reach, they say Oh, sweet temptation, you're just a little flirt You know you might get hurt that way Someday you may get a big surprise By someone who will make you realize That you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough You make it awful tough for me Now, sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough You make it awful tough for me
