I said I'd never let that hungry wolf come And blow this house down But I left myself unguarded I said I'd never let the tempter of my heart Come back around But now look at what I've started I've unlocked a box of confusion I've lost all my reason
Clear to the left, clear to the right Without a sound it came around Hit me on the blind side Look to the front, look to the back Down for the count, I'll tell you how Hit me on the blind side And though I could see The truth staring right at me Well I did not ready myself For the blind side
So I went walking through The garden of temptation unaware And I tasted what I wanted Not looking for the subtle warnings That might be hidden there And I barreled through undaunted Oh, I was seduced by a craving That left me defenseless
Not going the whole way A little bit here, a little more there I was short on self denial
