Like the hopeful dreams of many,
he had everything and more,
A lovely wife and children,
all the things worth fighting for.
He knows, there was still,
still, something missing in his life.
Though he promised to be faithful,
he was good at telling lies.
He had an eye for young girls,
he would steal some on the side.
Oh no, he just could not be satisfied.
It's a game of all or nothing,
there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger,
cause temptation is a gun.
He met her at a night club,
on the other side of town.
Somehow he could not resist her,
she's the best he'd ever found.
She knows, she found her ticket to the other side.
It's a game of all or nothing,
there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger,
cause temptation is a gun.
His foolish ways seem harmless,
but his world was so divine,
Cause at home they know his secrets,
they've heard all his alibis.
As he tries to face his feelings,
he can't justify his crimes,
Now comes the final ending,
of the dreams he once held sacred deep inside.
He can kiss it all good-bye.
It's a game of all or nothing,
there is nowhere safe to run,
Someone might just pull the trigger,
cause temptation is a gun.
Oh, ummmm, ya baby,
ahhhh temptation is a gun.
Temptation is a gun,
All or nothing, all or nothing.

can't, no I can't go back and save you. Why didn't you
do as you were told? Why didn't you just go home?
And what you got in the bag? Non-recognition is the
way to keep everything you want to hide. You stay on
that side now 'cause I won't, no I won't go back and
bail you out. Closer to the thing we had before. And
what you got in the bag? You were closer than you
thought. Closer than you thought you'd get. Don't you
worry that pretty head now. Never thought tha
