Song lyrics

It's time for me to be on my way I know,
I've got business to conduct
And I've got places to go,
But I can't help looking
At her sleeping instead

Another morning I'll have trouble
Climbing out of this bed,
Because she's such a temptation,
It's driving me crazy

And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way,
And I know what all my friends say
They're afraid that I'm losing my touch,
But she's such a temptation

I look so tired cause I don't get much sleep
And I've got too many commitments,
That are too hard to keep,
And I try to be rational, and I try to be wise
But it all gets blown to pieces

When I look in her eyes
Because she's such a temptation,
And nothing can save me,
And my only salvation
Is tearing myself away,
And I know what all my friends say,
There's a danger in wanting too much,
But she's such a temptation

I should be leaving, but I can't cut loose
I have my reasons for resistance,
But I have no excuse,
And I lose my composure,
I could use some restraint,
I never claimed to be a hero
And never said I was a saint,
She's such a temptation,
It's driving me crazy,
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way
And I know what all my friends say
Better watch out, you're losing your touch
But she's such a temptation
