|
Like the hopeful dreams of many,
|
he had everything and more,
|
A lovely wife and children,
|
all the things worth fighting for.
|
|
He knows, there was still,
|
still, something missing in his life.
|
|
Though he promised to be faithful,
|
he was good at telling lies.
|
He had an eye for young girls,
|
he would steal some on the side.
|
Oh no, he just could not be satisfied.
|
|
It's a game of all or nothing,
|
there is nowhere safe to run,
|
Someone might just pull the trigger,
|
cause temptation is a gun.
|
|
He met her at a night club,
|
on the other side of town.
|
Somehow he could not resist her,
|
she's the best he'd ever found.
|
She knows, she found her ticket to the other side.
|
|
It's a game of all or nothing,
|
there is nowhere safe to run,
|
Someone might just pull the trigger,
|
cause temptation is a gun.
|
|
His foolish ways seem harmless,
|
but his world was so divine,
|
Cause at home they know his secrets,
|
they've heard all his alibis.
|
As he tries to face his feelings,
|
he can't justify his crimes,
|
Now comes the final ending,
|
of the dreams he once held sacred deep inside.
|
|
He can kiss it all good-bye.
|
It's a game of all or nothing,
|
there is nowhere safe to run,
|
Someone might just pull the trigger,
|
cause temptation is a gun.
|
|
Oh, ummmm, ya baby,
|
ahhhh temptation is a gun.
|
Temptation is a gun,
|
All or nothing, all or nothing.
