He's a bad bad man and he calls your name
And he's showin' you a quick glimpse of fame
And he's leadin' you down Temptation Lane
Yes, he's leadin' you down Temptation Lane
Make a deal with a stranger
Half-past three on a hot afternoon
What would you do for a better lot in life?
You will be tested soon
'Cause he'll come track you down
There's no place you can't be found
And your life, he can easily improve it
But you'll soon come to regret it
'Cause he's a bad bad man and he calls your name
And he's showin' you a quick glimpse of fame
And he's leadin' you down Temptation Lane
Yes, he's leadin' you down Temptation Lane
Once you know that it's a possibility
It becomes more than one quite quickly
You can't sleep, knowing an easy fix
To being terribly commonplace
It's an itch under your skin
Starts on the right side, works its way to the left
It's a pulsing in your temple
You succumb
You succumb
To the bad bad man and he calls your name
And he's showin' you a quick glimpse of fame
And he's leadin' you down Temptation Lane
Yes, he's leadin' you down Temptation Lane
So if you want money in your pocket
And love laid out in bed
You better hold your tongue and watch it
You better bide your time instead
Yes, if you want money in your pocket
And love laid out in bed
You better hold your tongue and watch it
You better bide your time instead
'Cause he's a bad bad man and he calls your name
And he's showin' you a quick glimpse of fame
And he's leadin' you down Temptation Lane
Yes, he's leadin' you down Temptation Lane
