Artist/Band: Ricky Skaggs
Lyrics for Song: Sweet Temptations
Lyrics for Album: You May See Me Walkin' [Platinum] [1999]



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 awful tough on me.



Ah, you do, honey.

--- Instrumental ---



Ah, sweet temptation, the most delicious peach,

Is always out of reach, they say.

Ah, sweet temptation, you're just a little flirt, squirt.

You know, you might get hurt that way.



Baby, someday you'll get a big surprise.

Find someone who'll make you realise,

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

You make it awful tough on me.



What do you think, Mutt?

--- Instrumental ---



Baby, someday you'll get a big surprise.

Find someone who'll make you realise,

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

You make it awful tough for me.



Play it boys.

--- Instrumental ---



Ah, sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough.

You make it awful tough for me...


Sweet Temptations

Ricky Skaggs delivers a smooth, soulful country ballad on the 1999 album You May See Me Walkin'. The track showcases his signature vocal warmth and intricate steel guitar work, blending traditional country elements with a polished, adult contemporary sheen. Released during a period where Skaggs successfully bridged the gap between his rootsy image and mainstream radio appeal, the song exemplifies his ability to craft emotionally resonant melodies that appeal to a broad audience. It stands as a testament to his mastery of the genre, capturing the essence of late-night country with a touch of romantic allure that defined his discography in the late 1990s.
