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
