IMPATIENT TEMPTATION

Impatient temptation
Is prancing past my eyes;
Holding out a package,
A pretty, perfumed prize.

Impatient temptation
Is tugging at my sleeve;
Says, “You’d better get her
Before she tries to leave.”

I might never get this chance again;
My first excitement in who knows when.
Either way, I’ll regret it later;
If I love her, I’ll come to hate her.

Impatient temptation
Is tapping on my brain;
The message crystal clear:
“Choose pleasure over pain.”

Impatient temptation
Is calling to my heart;
Says, “I brought the matches,
Now let the fireworks start!”

I might never get this chance again;
My first excitement in who knows when.
Either way, I’ll regret it later;
If I love her, I’ll come to hate her.

I want her more than she’ll ever know;
I can’t ever let my feelings show.
Got a wife and kids, God up above,
Who should be getting all of my love.

Impatient temptation’s
Whispering to my soul,
“Take the turnpike’s fast lane,
I’ll even pay your toll.”

Impatient temptation
Is choking my conscience;
Says, “It really won’t count
If you do it just once.”

I want her more than she’ll ever know;
I can’t ever let my feelings show.
Got a wife and kids, God up above,
Who should be getting all of my love.

I want her more than she’ll ever know;
I can’t ever let my feelings show.
Got a wife and kids, God up above,
Who should be getting all of my love.
