SINGLE:
LYRICS:
(I bought a toothbrush)
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place
Passed 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
What's been going on, 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 (ooh) the airport, the baggage carousel (Ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh) (The people keep on grabbing)
(Ooh ooh ooh) (And wishing I was well)
(Ooh ooh ooh) I said, it's no occasion (Ooh ooh ooh) (it's no story I can tell)
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
(Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do-do, do)
Your body gets much closer, I fumble for the clock
(Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do-do, do)
Alarmed by the seduction (Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do-do, do)
I wished that it would stop (Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do-do, do)
(Ooh) Tempted by the fruit of another (ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh) Tempted but the truth is discovered (ooh ooh ooh)
What's been going on, now that you have gone?
There's no other (ooh, ooh ooh ooh) tempted by the fruit of another
(Ooh) Tempted but the truth is discovered (ooh ooh ooh)
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you
(Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do-do, do)
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
(Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do-do, do)
I asked of my reflection, tell me what is there to do
(Do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do-do, do, do, do, do, do, do)
(Ooh) Tempted by the fruit of another (ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh) Tempted but the truth is discovered (ooh ooh ooh)
What's been going on, now that you have gone?
There's no other (ooh, ooh ooh ooh) tempted by the fruit of another
(Ooh) Tempted but the truth is discovered (ooh ooh ooh)
Hah! (Ooh) Tempted by the fruit of another (ooh ooh ooh)
[What's been going on?]
(Ooh) Tempted but the truth is discovered (ooh ooh ooh)
[What's been going on?]
(Ooh) Tempted by the fruit of another (ooh ooh ooh)
[What's been going on?]
(Ooh) Tempted but the truth is discovered (ooh ooh ooh)
[What's been going on?]
(Ooh) Tempted by the fruit of another (ooh ooh ooh)
[What's been going on?]
(Ooh) Tempted but the truth is discovered (ooh ooh ooh)
[What's been going on?]
(Ooh) Tempted by the fruit of another (ooh ooh ooh)
[What's been going on?]
(Ooh) Tempted but the truth is discovered (ooh ooh ooh)
