Lead me not into temptation – passion overtakes me
I'm just another troubled troubadour and only you can shake me
Can't foresee the magic-makin' right before you take me
Come what may, I let you lead me, only to forsake me
Leave me hangin' from my line, you sassy, little siren
One more tease like last night's rush and Dolly, I'll be buyin'
A drink or 2 for some lost soul who knows my time on stage is flyin'
I don't mean to make you blue, but Dolly you be cryin'
Patty cake, patty cake, emerald eyes
Shimmy this way in your red high-tops and white lies
Tiger-lily-twirling, take a little chance on me
Cut that sexy black-dress rug as I sing by the sea
by the sea
by the sea
by the sea
by the sea
Is pink-petal, pirouetting mischief really worth the price?
I'm all yours for now, but Dolly, forever's just tonight
You tell me that you love me and say that you're all mine
Faint of heart from your feint of breath, you torment me inside
Clear your cobwebs, cut your cuffs, and drop another line
Pull me out and break my binds and drown me in your emerald light
Forever's just tonight
Forever's just tonight
Forever's just tonight
Forever's just tonight
