One more, one more time to test, the willpower of me
Oh this feeling, that I hold now, it just won't let me be
Cause this woman, she's won't leave me alone
She's gonna ruin, gonna ruin, gonna ruin my happy home
With a man's temptation

Now I've got another back home, she's the beat in my heart
I never thought no one else could ever tear us apart, oh no
Cause to each other we had been so true
Until along comes a soulful thing like you
You're a man's temptation, oh that's what you are

I went to momma for advice
And she said son you got to be strong
You've got to fight, oh you got to fight 'er all alone
But I'm so afraid of what I might do
I got to hurt my woman for you

I've got a feeling telling me
Ike you better let your heart be your guide
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna lose either one, no
Which makes it so hard to decide
And though my mind continues to roam
Oh, momma my heart it stays right here at home
And controls my temptation, oh yeah
It's so hard sometimes, but let's face it
That's the way love is
The pace of [] all night long
That's the way love is
Sometimes you be on the dark end of the street
That's the way love is
When [] is strung out, and don't know what to do
That's the way love is
Who can you turn to, oh where can you go?
That's the way love is
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh that's the way love is
