People telling me things that just may be true (It just may be true)
But nothing they can say
Oh, can change my fate in you (My fate in you)
You're a real woman (You're a real woman)
And I'm a true man (I'm a true man)
Oh, there ain't nothing you can do (Nothing you can do)
That I could not understand
Though I may not be with you
Every time you prefer (Every time you prefer now, baby)
Oh, though I become a traveling man
Baby, how I wish I were, oh
When temptation comes, yeah, yeah
And let it pass on by
When temptation comes, yeah, yeah
Just remember you and I
When temptation comes, yeah, yeah
Girl let it pass on by
Ooh-ooh
Girl you broke the ice, yeah, yeah
And came on in to my heart (Came on in to my heart now, baby)
And then you changed this heart of stone
Into a flower garden, yes you did
Have I become a softy?
Have I become a fool?
Have I become a dreamer?
Have I become a tool?
No, I may not be with you
Every time, every time you prefer (Every time you prefer now, baby)
And though I become a traveling man
Baby, how I wish I were
When temptation comes, yeah, yeah
Girl let it pass on by
When temptation comes, yeah, yeah
Just remember you and I
When temptation comes, yeah, yeah
Girl let it pass on by
When temptation comes, yeah
Just remember you and I
Don't you wear that pretty dress no more
(Oh, baby) oh, the way you walk
The way you talk, oh, yeah (Oh, don't you wear that pretty dress no more)
When temptation comes, yeah, yeah
Girl let it pass on by
Oh, when temptation comes, yeah
Girl remember you and I (Just remember you and I)
Mmm, baby, mmm, baby
And let it pass on by (Let it pass on by)
Oh, don't you wear that pretty dress no more (Oh, don't you wear that pretty dress no more)
Girl the way you walk
The way you talk (Oh, the way you talk)
Oh, yeah, yeah (Oh, yeah)
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm (Oh, yeah)
Let it pass on by
When temptation comes, yeah
Girl let it pass on by
When temptation comes
