Marty Robbins - Sometimes I\'m Tempted lyrics

rate me

Sometime I'm tempted by big brown eyes<br />

Sometime I'm tempted to cheat and lie<br />

Sometime I'm tempted but won't give in<br />

Old mister Devil ain't gonna win<br />

'Cause when I see him walkin' down the avenue<br />

I think of all the things that other folks might do<br />

Then I turn and run, run, run, run<br />

Straight to baby's arms<br />

Where I'm safe and sound in baby's arms<br />

<br />

The urge to cheat sometime is strong<br />

But a little bitty voice tells me it's wrong<br />

Sometimes I'm tempted but won't give in<br />

Old mister Devil ain't gonna win<br />

'Cause when I see him walkin' down the street<br />

I think of what may happen if we chance to meet<br />

And I turn and run, run, run, run<br />

Back to baby's arms<br />

Where I'm safe and sound in baby's arms<br />

<br />

Well' a perilous tongue might tell you lies<br />

'Cause you pain, bring you strife<br />

Trust in me I will not falter<br />

Long as there's a spark of life<br />

Evil standin' all around me<br />

Sailin' on a sea of sin<br />

But I won't sink beneath the water<br />

If the water can't get in<br />

<br />

The urge to cheat sometime is strong<br />

But a little bitty voice tells me it's wrong<br />

Sometimes I'm tempted but won't give in<br />

Old mister Devil ain't gonna win<br />

'Cause when I see him walkin' down the avenue<br />

I think of all the things that other folks might do<br />

Then I turn and run, run, run, run<br />

Straight to baby's arms
