EVE'S TEMPTATION


If I take your apple,
what will happen to me
I'm supposed to be an example
to everyone coming after me
down through history

Everything I decide to do
will be recorded...
and my blame will fall back to you
But I should know better what is true

If I'm going to gain so much from one bite
Why is this feeling not so right?
Why do I have a feeling
I'm not going to be able to sleep at night?

Something tells me deep down inside
that beneath your promises...
even you have something to hide

A woman's intuition is to think about it twice
and what you're telling me doesn't sound so nice

Promises, promises that you cannot keep
I should know better than to trust you...

I saw you lying to me, in my sleep

My Father came to me
once I had taken your bait
I tried to hide from Him
He told me to wait

My mistake sent me to Him
Each time I went to Him
I realized what I meant to Him

I felt so ashamed
Seems I played a deadly game

I was naked, happy, and free
Now, I'll never be the same
He had all the answers to my eternity

From then on, I hid my body so noone could see

From that day forward
I was hip to your cunning voice
Right and wrong
now is a choice
Down through time men and women knew...

Not to trust in a devil like you

  4. Ty Perfect...... I wanted to make Eve more realistic to today, as well as when she first was tempted.

    We all have some "Eve" in us...
