Squeeze — Tempted

[Intro] (I bought a toothbrush) [Verse 1, Paul Carrack] I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste A flannel for my face Pajamas, 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 Memories of it still Keep calling and calling But forget it all, I know I will [Chorus, Paul Carrack] Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on now that you have gone There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered [Verse 2, Glenn Tillbrook] I'm at the car park, the airport The baggage carousel [Elvis Costello] The people keep on crowding Been wishing I was well [Glenn Tillbrook] I said it's no occasion [Elvis Costello] It's no story I could tell [Paul Carrack] At my bedside, empty pocket A foot without a sock Your body gets much closer I fumble for the clock Alarmed by the seduction I wish that it would stop [Chorus, Paul Carrack] Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on now that you have gone There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered [Verse 3, Paul Carrack] I bought a novel, some perfume A fortune all for you But it's not my conscience That hates to be untrue I asked of my reflection Tell me what is there to do? [Chorus, Paul Carrack] Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered What's been going on now that you have gone There's no other Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered [Outro] Oh, tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered Tempted by the truth of another Tempted and the truth is discovered Tempted by the fruit of another Tempted but the truth is discovered
