Torn Between Temptations Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was out last night
And you were in a rage
But it's the same old story, now
This is just a page
I'm so ashamed

[Verse 2]
Darlin', anythin' I could, I would
For you
If you could accept the only thing
I just can't do
You'd understand

[Chorus]
But I'll be torn between temptations 'til then
You're true love and my true love again
Torn between temptations
A smile and a frown
There's no doubt about it
Gives me Hell
But it feels like Heaven goin' down

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You don't have to talk to me
The way you do
I can see beyond this, honey
Why can't you?
Listen to me
[Chorus]
But I'll be torn between temptations 'til then
I'll be damned, and I'll be back again
No, yes, I'm torn between temptations
A smile and a frown
There's no doubt about it
Gives me Hell
But it feels like Heaven goin' down
Feels like Heaven goin' down
Feels like Heaven goin' down

[Outro]
Feels like Heaven (Goin' down)
Feels like Heaven (Goin' down)
Feels like Heaven (Goin' down)
(Goin' down)
(Goin' down)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
