A song about a man whose obsession with a woman is interfering with his work. There’s no mention of the obsession interfering with his marriage, so most likely the woman is his wife. Joel wrote this song while he was married to Christie Brinkley.

Temptation Lyrics

It's time for me to be on my way I know
I've got business to conduct
And I've got places to go

But I can't help looking at her sleeping instead
Another morning I'll have trouble
Climbing out of this bed

Because she's such a temptation
It's driving me crazy
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way

And I know what all of my friends say
They're afraid that I'm losing my touch
But she's such a temptation

Oh, I look so tired 'cause I don't get much sleep
I've got too many commitments
That are too hard to keep

And I try to be rational and I try to be wise
But it all gets blown to pieces
When I look in her eyes

Because she's such a temptation
And nothing can save me
And my only salvation
If I can tear myself away

'Cause I know what all of my friends say
There's a danger in wanting too much
But she's such a temptation

Oh yeah, I should be leaving but I can't cut loose
I have my reasons for resistance
But I have no excuse

And I lose my composure, I could use some restraint
I never claimed to be a hero
And I never said I was a saint

She's such a temptation
It's driving me crazy
And it's my fascination
That's making me act this way

And I can just hear all my friends say
"Better watch out, you're losing your touch"
But she's such a temptation

Yes she is
She's such a temptation
Yes she is, oh yes she is
She's such a temptation
