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
