Deep inside, I know I don't want it
But it pulls on me like gravity
Deep inside, I know that it isn't right
But it pulls on me like gravity
♪
And I try to resist, the illusion that I missed
Oh no, here I go
♪
I've been giving in; it feels like I have sinned
Oh, and the lies I tell, to smother and quell
"It's just one time", "out of sight out of mind"
"Maybe just this once", it's all a mental dance
Temper temptations
But I can't fight it
It's hard to break with bad manners
And I've sought aid, oh yes, I sat and waited
Went through their lists, told them what I missed
"It just helps me out", "Oh but you're better without"
"You'll have to moderate, your manners and traits"
Temper temptations
But I can't fight it
It's hard to break with bad manners
And I've tried my best
Oh, how I joke and jest
But it's hard to break with bad manners
♪
And I try to resist, the illusion that I missed
Oh no, here I go
♪
Will I ever break
With the choices I make?
