[Verse 1]
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face, pajamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, "Let's get out of this place"
[Verse 2]
Passed the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep calling and calling
But forget it all, I know I will
[Chorus]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on?
Now that you have gone, there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
[Verse 3]
I'm at the car park, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on grindin'
Ain't wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occasion
It's no story I could tell"
[Verse 4]
At my bedside, empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop
[Chorus]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on?
Now that you have gone, there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
[Verse 5]
I bought a novel, some perfume
A fortune, all for you
But it's not my conscience
That hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection, "Tell me, what is there to do?"
[Chorus]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on?
Now that you have gone, there's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
[Outro]
Oh, tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?)
Tempted but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?)
Tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?)
Tempted but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?)
[Outro]
Tempted by the fruit of another (What's been going on?)
Tempted but the truth is discovered (What's been going on?)
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
