Temptation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Voice like velvet, skin like silk
Pale blue eyes, swear they could kill
LSD and lemonade
Your sweetness makes my body ache

[Pre-Chorus]
You're in the car, I'm drivin', someone cut the brakes
Got that California dreamin'
Never wanted someone like I want you, babe
And I don't know if I can take this

[Chorus]
Temptation
Gets deeper every time
Confession
I can't get you out of my
Imagination
You're heaven in my mind (Heaven in my mind)
Tell me, will we make it real?

[Post-Chorus]
Temptation
Temptation

[Verse 2]
Wantin' you, forbidden fruit
If your lover only knew (If they only knew, yeah)
For just one touch, I'd be a thief (Make me wanna)
Steal your heart and kill the dream

[Pre-Chorus]
You're in the car, I'm drivin', someone cut the brakes
Got that California dreamin'
Never wanted someone like I want you, babe
And I don't know if I can take this

[Chorus]
Temptation
Gets deeper every time
Confession
I can't get you out of my
Imagination
You're heaven in my mind (Heaven in my mind)
Tell me, will we make it real?
Temptation
Gets deeper every time
Confession
I can't get you out of my
Imagination
You're heaven in my mind (Heaven in my mind)
Tell me, will we make it real?

[Bridge]
I can't quit the thought of you on my lips
It's a sin, but only if we give in
You say it's not right, then tell me why
You're heaven in my mind, oh

[Chorus]
Temptation (Temptation)
Gets deeper every time
Confession
I can't get you out of my
Imagination
You're heaven in my mind (Heaven in my mind)
Tell me, will we make it real? (Oh)
Temptation
Gets deeper every time
Confession
I can't get you out of my
Imagination
You're heaven in my mind (Heaven, you're heaven, you're heaven)
Tell me, will we make it real? (Ooh)

What did Ellie Goulding say about "Temptation"?

Very intentional ’80s vibes here. It was so silly, the process was incredibly fun and indulgent in the best way, but once we were finished we looked at each other and all said, ‘Shit, this is quite good.’ There’s a little gender misdirect in the lyrics, which I enjoyed writing too.
