Sometimes I'm Tempted - Marty Robbins

Sometime I’m tempted by big brown eyes

Sometime I’m tempted to cheat and lie

Sometime I’m tempted but won’t give in

Old mister Devil ain’t gonna win

'Cause when I see him walkin' down the avenue

I think of all the things that other folks might do

Then I turn and run, run, run, run

Straight to baby’s arms

Where I’m safe and sound in baby’s arms

The urge to cheat sometime is strong

But a little bitty voice tells me it’s wrong

Sometimes I’m tempted but won’t give in

Old mister Devil ain’t gonna win

'Cause when I see him walkin' down the street

I think of what may happen if we chance to meet

And I turn and run, run, run, run

Back to baby’s arms

Where I’m safe and sound in baby’s arms

Well' a perilous tongue might tell you lies

'Cause you pain, bring you strife

Trust in me I will not falter

Long as there’s a spark of life

Evil standin' all around me

Sailin' on a sea of sin

But I won’t sink beneath the water

If the water can’t get in

The urge to cheat sometime is strong

But a little bitty voice tells me it’s wrong

Sometimes I’m tempted but won’t give in

Old mister Devil ain’t gonna win

'Cause when I see him walkin' down the avenue

I think of all the things that other folks might do

Then I turn and run, run, run, run

Straight to baby’s arms
