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
|
