I stared temptation right in the face <br />And I told her I'm sorry but no <br />When she said let's go back to my place <br />Because I couldn't bear to hurt you so <br /> <br />Yes I know I flirted a bit <br />With a woman I had never net before <br />That there was temptation I will admit <br />But it's you I always will adore <br /> <br />It began so very innocently <br />I was dining alone thinking of you <br />Suddenly this woman was smiling at me <br />The next thing I know I'm smiling too <br /> <br />She came over and sat at my table <br />And gave me a look that said it all <br />Could I resist? I hoped I'd be able <br />From the Eden of your love I never want to fall <br /> <br />We talked for a while and then she said <br />I never met a man like you before <br />Come home with me let's go to bed <br />O just sat there staring at the floor <br /> <br />I told her I'm flattered you asked me but no <br />My heart body and soul are spoken for <br />By a woman that I know really loves me so <br />Lucky woman she said and headed for the door <br /> <br />I sat there thinking what did I almost do? <br />Thrown away a once in a lifetime romance <br />By flirting with a woman the likes of who <br />Just wanted to get into my pants <br /> <br />That your love is so satisfying to me <br />Kept me from making one big mistake <br />Never will I flirt with any woman I see <br />Your love I can never forsake<br /><br />Harry J.
