The Temptations Still Tempting Lyrics
Still Tempting by The Temptations
It was on a cold winter night
January 1964 detroit michigan
Five young men walked into music history
Not knowing that they would become part of a legacy
That would outlive them all
The sound of Motown
So please listen to this song
For it is the spirit and creed
Of the temptations
We hope we are still tempting......
Our dreams were plenty
But the streets were windy with our stomachs empty
Early mornin' getting ready
To work at the plant building fords and chevys
Five good friends and we may do
Every week in a jook joint Sunday a church pew
Love of music was all we knew.. so we pushed on... and we stayed strong
In the midst of a storm... we held on (we held on)
And made a pact that....(no man) no man could come between a bond this strong (noo)
Snap clap slide step comeback together in perfect harmony
Instant family strong as ever now and forever still tempting to you (yeaaaaah)
I saw the world from a tour bus
Woke up mornings not knowing where I was
Curtains came down on a few of us
and the stage lights got so blinding
and then David would roooaaar
And Eddie had a voice that would sail and soar
People would applaud for an encore
Those were the best days of my life ...my life
In the midst of a storm... we held on (we held on)
And made a pact that...(no man) no man could come between a bond this strong (this strong)
Snap clap slide (no way no way) step comeback together in perfect harmony (ooooh)
Instant family strong as ever now and forever still tempting to you
da.. da.. da.. da....oh
Youuuuuu (you know it's true) da.. da... da... da ...
Some of the faces change
But the name's the same
Still the Motor city's runnin' through my veins
Giving something uplifting worth listening still tempting to you
So we fight to keep it right
Hold on and last long let their memories live through our song
Giving something uplifting worth listening still tempting to you
In the midst of a storm... we held on (we held on)
And made a pact that (No man) no man could come between a bond this strong (no)
Snap clap slide step (No man could come between it)
comeback together in perfect harmony (you better belive it still temptin)
Instant family strong as ever now and forever still tempting to you
da da da da ooooooooooooo
youuuuuu (you know it's true) da da da da
mmm hmmm oooooooo
Still Temptin' ......Yes we are
ooooooh we wanna thank you...... ooooo wooo
when we leave home in the morning (ay ay)
singing music for the soul yeah we're tempting
(otis)"Those were the best days of my life"
Temptin' yes we are
Temptin' yes we are
STILL Temptin' yes we are
Temptin' yes we are (still temptin' yes we are)
STILL Temptin' yes we are (dancin' and singin' entertaining making the people smile)
Temptin' yes we are
STILL Temptin' yes we are
Temptin' yes we are
STILL temptin' yes we are
(we gon keep on doin' it)
