Lead Me Not Into Temptation

You want to be where? And do what?

Alone with me?

Wasn't it you who said that

Temptation was too great to risk all you've worked for?

That you could never be alone with me?

After all these months, with me on the verge

Of leaving to go back to an old life of mine

I asked if we could get together one more time

You were only too happy to oblige,

"Meet you at your place, and we'll talk about old times."

As much as I care for you, please,

Lead me not into temptation

For my feelings for you are still strong.

I may just give in, and that would not do.

So whatever it is you have in mind, please,

Lead me not into temptation, 'cause

I can find it myself.
