Reality Bites movie - Tempted lyrics

rate me

Song by Squeeze<br /><br>

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face<br>

Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case.<br>

I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place.<br>

Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill<br>

Billboards and the buildings<br>

Memories of it still keep calling<br>

And calling<br>

But forget it all I know I will<br>

Tempted by the fruit of another<br>

Tempted but the truth is discovered<br>

What's been going on<br>

Now that you have gone<br>

There's no other<br>

Tempted by the fruit of another<br>

Tempted but the truth is discovered<br>

I'm at the carpark, the airport, the baggage carousel<br>

The people keep on grabbing, ain't wishing I was well<br>

I said, "It's no occasion. It's no story I can tell."<br>

At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock<br>

Your body gets much closer<br>

I fumble for the clock, alarmed by<br>

The seduction<br>

I wish that it would stop<br>

Tempted by the fruit of another<br>

Tempted but the truth is discovered<br>

What's been going on<br>

Now that you have gone there's no other<br>

Tempted by the fruit of another<br>

Tempted but the truth is discovered<br>

I bought a novell, some perfume, a fortune all for you<br>

But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue.<br>

I asked of my reflection,<br>

Tell me what is there to do?<br>

Tempted by the fruit of another<br>

Tempted but the truth is discovered<br>

What's been going on<br>

Now that you have gone there's no other<br>

Tempted by the fruit of another<br>

Tempted but the truth is discovered<br>

<br>
