Oh, what blue daughter there in the sun Always claiming to be the one Who would drop that name on you, Temptation has passed you You know what it takes to make the wind blow What it takes to make the minds grow Who could say go away to you, Temptation has passed you With your mind on fire and raving the end You open the gates and welcome the men Saying I was never a friend of you Temptation don't want you And the nights are hot beneath your feet They cancel your eyes and your dreams But, that don't seem to bother you Temptation has passed you And don't you get sleepy in my bed You're always painting my sheets red Don't play dead, because I know you Temptation has passed you And it's cold and sick in the wind The Indians come and speak of sins It's going crazy again for you Temptation don't want you
