temptation

Michael Johnson

Casey ought to know by now
She s had time enough to figure it out
She ain t gonna be no queenie
She s just way too down and out
She s saved her money but it will not help her now

Temptation, got to pay the people
Temptation, till she s old and feeble
The judge says let s deliver this girl from temptation

She draws a picture on the wall
With her mind that s only partially gone
But she s got more that she can do
Figuring out why the sky is blue
And she won t bother us till 1992

Temptation, got to pay the people
Temptation, till she s old and feeble
The judge says let s deliver this girl from temptation

What she would ve given to live in a neighborhood
Just like me and you
With someone to show her the rules she s broken
But society has spoken

Temptation, got to pay the people
Temptation, till she s old and feeble
The judge says let s deliver this girl from temptation
