Verse 1:
A
Sweet temptation,
D
That's what you are to me
A                               E
That's all you'll always be, it seems.
A
Sweet temptation, 
D
You smile and pass me by
A             E         A
But still you occupy my dreams.
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
D                             A
Maybe I've got lots of hidden charms
D                                        A
You'd find if you'd just hold me in your arms

Chorus:
E               A
But you're just sweet temptation,
D
A diamond in the rough.
A           E               A
You make it awful tough for me

Verse 2:
A
Sweet temptation,
D
The most delicious peach
A                           E
Is always outta reach, they say.
A
Sweet temptation,
D
You're just a little flirt
A                  E                   A
Don't you know you might get hurt that way?

D                            A
Someday you may get a big surprise

By someone who will make you realize

E                A

A diamond in the rough

You make it awful tough for me
