Joe Cocker - Tempted Lyrics
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pyjamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
Past 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
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
I'm at the car park, the airport
The baggage carousel
The people keep on crowding
I'm wishing I was well
I said it's no occasion
It's no story I could tell
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
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

It's a decent version but it's not Paul Carrack.
Man , Joe put more soul in it than his pal Paul Carrack . I like both versions .
Squeeze

That's opinion. I like it!
@Beverly Crabtree I like it too.Great version.
Produced by Gary Katz.

@ winstonsmith60626
The stupidity of your comment makes me wanna throw up.
Paul Carrack was the vocalist on "Tempted" by Squeeze,
NOT Glenn Tilbrook, you idiot !!!
make me puke, Joe Cocker is NOT Glenn Tillbrook
Paul Carrack***
Yeah, neither was the bloke who sang the original.
That would be one Paul Carrack. Must try harder.
No negative Raiting :D
Man. Could see the times of great!
No matter .. I still hear him sing like
and I also like to see him. :-)
his voice is a bit to scratchy in my opinion, but netherless he is a good singer.
