Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend - Arctic Monkeys

I don't ever want to hate you

So don't show me your bed

The only roads are cul-de-sacs

The first thing that she said

Temptation

Greets you like your naughty mate

The one that used to get you in bother

But one you could never bring yourself to hate

& she said we've got that spark

That only lights a fuse

Helps you see in the dark

But it's a sight you'll lose when

The temptation

Greets you like your naughty friend

I don't ever want to hate you

So don't show me your bed

The only roads are cul-de-sacs

The only ends are dead

Temptation

Greets you like your naughty mate

One that made you steal & set things on fire

But one you haven't seen of late

& I said that kind of talk

Only adds intrigue

To the cauldron of thought

It's already exceeding

Temptation

The very thing that held her back

I don't ever want to hate you

So don't show me your bed

The only roads are cul-de-sacs

The only ends are dead

I don't ever want to hate you

It's not part of the plan

So keep your charm where I can't see it

& your hands where I can

We used to be in tight

Me & my naughty friends

Caused bare madness in the ends

I mean day 'n' night

We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight

Smoking, drinking, joyriding

Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding

Reckless, gangsters, no direction

No sign of correction

But then I switched it up

Changed my ways

What the hell

Like, oh my days

But like my naughty friends

They're not phased

Can't believe that this music pays

See no reason why we can't do

All the things we've always done

Still, in my heart, I know that's just what

But its hard to fight the temptation, son

The panic will fall down around you

If you don't do what I say

I don't ever want to hate you

So don't show me your bed

The only roads are cul-de-sacs

The only ends are dead

I don't ever want to hate you

It's not part of the plan

So keep your charm where I can't see it

& your hands where I can
