LEAD ME NOT INTO TEMPTATION
(Richard Hollingsworth)


Anthony A. Jones - 1970





There you stand with open arms before me
Like a fool I want to rush right in
To taste the forbidden fruit that you offer
And forget the heart I'll break if I give in

Lead me not into temptation
Don't make me forget this wedding band
Lead me not into temptation
For after all, I'm weak, I'm just a man

So you think it's fine to tempt another
And that love is just the cheating game
But real love is never temporary
So it's not love, it wears another name

Lead me not into temptation
Don't make me forget this wedding band
Lead me not into temptation
For after all, I'm weak, I'm just a man
Oh, after all, I'm weak, I'm just a man
