Sweet Temptation

(Merle Travis - Cliffie Stone)



Sweet temptation, that's what you are to me

That's what you'll always be, it seems

Ah, sweet temptation, you smile and pass me by

But still you occupy my dreams.



Baby, I've got a lot of hidden charms

You'd find if you'd just hold me in your arms

But you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough

You make it oh so tough for me.

Sweet temptation, the most delicious peach

Is always out of reach, they say

Sweet temptation, you're just a little flirt

You know you might get hurt that way.



Baby, someday you'll get a big surprise

Find someone who'll make you realize

That you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough

You make it awful tough on me.

You make it awful tough on me.



Ah, sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough

You make it awful tough for me...
