Arctic Monkeys - Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend Lyrics

I don't ever want to hate you
So don't show me your bed
"The only road's a cul-de-sac"
Is the first thing that she said

Temptation greets you like your naughty mate
The one that used to get you in bother
But one you could never bring yourself to hate

And she said we've got that spark but only lights a fuse
Helps you see in the dark but it's a sight you'll lose
When the temptation greets you like your naughty friend

I don't ever want to hate you
So don't show me your bed
The only roads are cul-de-sacs
The only ends are dead

Temptation greets you like your naughty mate
The one that made you steal and set things on fire
The one you haven't seen of late

And I said that kind of talk only adds intrigue
To the cauldron of thought that's already exceeding
Temptation the very thing that held her back

I don't ever want to hate you
So don't show me your bed
The only roads are cul-de-sacs
The only ends are dead

I don't ever want to hate you
It's not part of the plan
So keep your charm where I can't see it
And your hands where I can

Yeah it's Rascal gettin' dirty stanky, yeah

We used to be tight, me and my naughty friends
Caused pure madness in the ends, I mean day 'n' night
We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight

Smoking, drinking, joyriding
Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding
Reckless gangsters, no direction
No sign of correction

But then I switched you off, changed my ways
What the hell! You're like, "Oh my days!"
But not my naughty friends, they're not phased
Can't believe that this music pays

See no reason why we can't do
All the things that we've always done
Still in my heart I know that's just one
But it's hard to fight the temptation son

The panic will fall down around you
If you don't do what I say

I don't ever want to hate you
So don't show me your bed
The only roads are cul-de-sacs
The only ends are dead

I don't ever want to hate you
It's not part of the plan
So keep your charm where I can't see it
And your hands where I can
