This song was also inspired by my secret "rendezvous" with Kris Shy. After our little messing around during musical, I stopped talking to her to get her out of my mind. Because the whole thing was supposed to be a secret, only the people in musical knew what wwas up with her and I, plus I was starting to have feelings for her. But it was tough trying to ignore her, it was temptation. The whole feeling of the song was about just how good it felt to kiss her, to feel her, to be with her, to be ALONE with her, which seriously rarely happened; but when it did, it was really something. It was written around May, I believe. I am especially proud of this song because when I recorded it, it was molded into a bluesy-funk piece and also, I really had never put anything about my feelings for sexual temptation or anything like that in my music before, and I felt that this was a blatant but fun way to do it.
See I never felt temptation
Until you showed up at the station
And I never got such desire
Until you touched me
You make me feel all better
Despite all the rumors and chatter
I get higher than no one knows
You complain about me in private
Voice so strong I cant deny it
But half the time
You got me all wrong
I never walked under a ladder
Except for when we get a little badder
Girl it doesnt matter, whatever you say to me
Sweet Temptation
Everyday
Like bittersweet medicine
in everyway
My lust is stronger than my love
Its coming from down, than its coming from above
See I never felt temptation
When you put me in those situations
I cant tell nobody nothing
If we had a little something
See its considered taboo
for me to be messing with you
Usually I dont care
But theres an exception to the rule
My wish for sex is stronger
But kisses last a little longer
You cant deny it, thats why you always like to try it
Sweet temptation you always make
When we get a little love, you always stay the same
Baby, I never knew this could be
May 1999, Thanx Kris
