Tempted

 

They dared

to step out together

in public again

that Saturday night.

For once

not behind closed doors,

They wanted more

and with a touch of class

Their private lives

were set behind smoked glass

in a public foyer bar.

Wondered if they'd been seen

by anyone who knew them...

 

They hadn't driven far.

 

Driven to distraction,

their magnetic attraction

pushed them to run

the risk,

And they held hands longingly

and even lovingly

they kissed,

As the Holiday Inn sound system -

and I'm not even taking the piss -

played "Tempted".
