Story Behind The Song

its all about staying away from the things that tempt you most

Lyrics

TRUE BLUE

You have a funny way about you
An irresistible intrigue.
And every time I'm with you.
There's some place else I probably should be

Everywhere I go.
You seem to be following behind me
I just can't break away
Your temptation is so inviting.


I tell myself I don't want you
tell myself I don't need you.
Time and time again
I tell myself I can't have you
I just can't trust myself around you
True Blue.


I know I'm a strong girl.
why do you make me so weak.
I made a promise to myself
And it's a promise I have to keep

gotta get you outta my head
You're more than outta site outta mind
I know do you'll no good for me
But sweet love is so hard to find


I tell myself that I don't want you
I tell myself I don't need you
Time and time again.
I tell myself I can't have you
I just can't trust myself around you
True Blue.

I know if I give in.
I'll beat myself up inside
How could a little taste so sweet
be worth losing all my pride
I can't keep on resisting you
Though I've tried and tried and tried
How bad can a little bit be
Just this one itty bitty time


My hearts a danglin' around you
Like a puppet on a string.
You've got such power over me
I fight it with every ounce of my being

You're testin' my strength
you know I want you so bad.
I'm always complicating these things
By only wanting what I can't have


I tell myself that I don't want you
I tell myself I don't need you
Time and time again.
I tell myself I can't have you
I just can't trust myself around you
True Blue.
