TILL TEMPTATION GETS THE BETTER OF ME
(Cindy Carson)


Norma Lee - 1966
Kay Adams - 1967



You know that I am not the kind
To cheat at love and still I find
That there's danger every time you come my way
And when I'm dancin' close to you
The same desire comes rushin' through
And I wonder just how long it will be
Till temptation gets the better of me

I don't go in for breakin' rules
A loser's game that's played by fools
And I tell my anxious heart, oh, please be strong
But when I look into your eyes
I want you so, can I be wise
That I wonder just how long it will be
Till temptation gets the better of me

What's the matter with me
This is wrong and I can see
That only heartaches and pain can come my way
And yet I long to feel your touch
And I want your love so much
That I wonder just how long it will be
Till temptation gets the better of me
Till temptation gets the better of me
