Sometimes I'm Tempted Lyrics - 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
