[Verse 1: Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, The Jackson 5]
One more time to test the willpower of me
(Willpower of me)
These feelings that I hold now just won't let me be
(Let me be)

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Oh, this woman won't leave me alone
She's trying to ruin my happy home
With a man's temptation, yeah

[Verse 2: Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Now I've got another back home who's the beat of my heart
(Beat of my heart)
But I never thought no one else could ever tear us apart
(Tear us apart)

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
To each other we have been so true
Until along came a lover like you
With a man's temptation, yeah

[Bridge: Michael Jackson]
I know I've got to be strong
I've got to fight this all along, yeah
So afraid for what I must do
I've got to hurt my woman or you
[Verse 3: Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, The Jackson 5]
I've got a feeling telling me, let your heart be your guide
(Heart be your guide)
But I don't want to lose either one, which makes it hard to decide
(Hard to decide)

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
And though my mind continues to roam, yeah
My heart, it stays at home
Controls my temptation, yeah

[Outro: Michael Jackson]
I'm sorry little miss, that's the way it is
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I can't stay, yeah, yeah
I must be on my way
Do, do, do, do
With a man's temptation, yeah
Ooh, with a man's temptation, yeah
Ooh, oh, ooh-hoo-ooh

When a man meets a pretty woman
It makes him, it makes him wanna shout
Just a little bit like this
Whoa, yeah, whoa, yeah, ooh
With a man's temptation, yeah
Oh, uh-huh, yeah, ooh
A little bit louder, yeah, now
Ooh, with a man's, with a man's
