I've been cursing your name
been telling tales about you
I've been trying to change
turn this boy into something new
I believe all I hear
read the papers in floods of tears
I believe all I see
all this hatred poured on me

And I'm tempted by your charm
Sugar sweet stories
And I'm tempted by your charm
The tales of glory

Invading your heart
the moments that you kept for family
The distant laughs
when mud sticks it cleans so badly
We see the devil in you
when it's only words distorted
Wading through all the half-truths
notching up the lies reported

And I'm tempted by your charm
Sugar sweet stories
And I'm tempted by your charm
The tales of glory

And I'm tempted by your charm
Sugar sweet stories
And I'm tempted by your charm
The tales of glory

And I'm tempted by your charm
Sugar sweet stories
And I'm tempted by your charm
The tales of glory
