Wee temptation, [D]
that's what you are to [A] me, that's all you'll always [E] be it seems.
[A]
Wee temptation, [D] you smile and pass me [F#m] by, but still [E] you occupy my [A]
dreams.
[D] Maybe I've got lots of [A] hidden charms, [D] you'd find if you just hold [A] me in your arms.
[E]
But [A] you're just wee temptation, [D]
a diamond in the rough, you [E] make it all look tough [A] for me.

[A] Someday you may get a big surprise, by someone who will make you [A] realize,
[E]
that you're [Am] just wee [A] temptation, [D]
a diamond in the [A] rough, [F#] you make it all look tough [A] for me.
