Lyrics Sniff ‘N’ The Tears – Only Love To Tempt Me
Text:
I’ve been walking down a bad road
See the devil he invite me to a game
And I been sleeping in the doorway
Of the rich man’s house again
And he says move along there go away
And me I just looks up with this smile round my kisser
Says only love is going to tempt me to stay
Only love is going to tempt me to stay
I’ve been smiling like old Buddha
With the thought of all the gold that I disdained
But I should have known then he would get me in the end
And I would see the folly of my ways
So the rich man he takes me by the shoulder
And he says man move along there move away
And me I just looks down at this ring on my finger
Says only love is going to tempt me to stay
Only love is going to tempt me to stay
See the rich man he had a daughter
And her beauty stole my heart clean away
But her daddy had in mind a suitor of a different kind
And if her love I would decline then he would pay
So the rich man puts his gold on the table
Then he says now move along be on your way
So I picks up all my things
And I hands to him the ring
Says only love is going to tempt me to stay
Only love is going to tempt me to stay
