Introdução: A A9 A E Cm B7 F Fdim E B7 
 
E         F       E 
You came, I was alone  
F                E        Dm6        Bm7       E 
I should have known you were temptation 
E            F         E    D9   E 
You smiled, luring me on, 
F                  E            Dm6          Bm7      E 
My heart was gone, and you were temptation 
Bridge: 
E                          Cdim          B7           E 
It would be thrilling,     if you were willing 
A    A9    A    E    Cm B7  F   Fdim E 
And,  if  it  can  never  be,  pity   me 
B7             E            F           E 
For you were born to be kissed 
F          E    Dm6 Bm7     Dm6    E 
I can't resist,  you  are  temptation 
A              Dm6  E7  D9   A 
I am yours  here is my heart 
 D   A   E   A       Dm6  Bm5-/7      A 
Take it and say that  we'll  never  part 
Dm   A   E  A   Dm6  A Bm5-/7  A 
I'm  just  a  slave,  only  a  slave  
E   A         Dm6          E  Fdim        A 
To you, temptation, I'm   your    slave
