Sweet Temptation by Merle Travis Lyrics

Sweet temptation, that's what you are to me
That's all you'll always be, it seems
Sweet temptation, you smile and pass me by
But still you occupy my dreams

Maybe I've got lots a' hidden charms
You'd find if you'd just hold me in your arms
But you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough
You make it awful tough for me

Sweet temptation, the most delicious peach
Is always outta reach, they say
Oh, sweet temptation, you're just a little flirt
You know you might get hurt that way

Someday you may get a big surprise
By someone who will make you realize
That you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough
You make it awful tough for me

Now, sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough
You make it awful tough for me
