[Intro]
(I bought a toothbrush)

[Verse 1: Paul Carrack]
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pyjamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
I said to my reflection, let's get out of this place
Past the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings. memories of it still
Keep calling and calling, but forget it all, I know I will

[Chorus: Paul Carrack]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted, but the truth is discovered
What's been going on now that you have gone?
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted, but the truth is discovered

[Verse 2: Glenn Tilbrook, Paul Carrack & Elvis Costello]
I'm at the car park, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on crowding and wishing I was well
I said it's no occasion, It's no story I could tell
At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer, I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction, I wish that it would stop
[Chorus: Paul Carrack]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted, but the truth is discovered
What's been going on now that you have gone?
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted, but the truth is discovered

[Verse 3: Paul Carrack]
I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience that hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection, tell me, what is there to do?

[Chorus, Paul Carrack]
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted, but the truth is discovered
What's been going on now that you have gone?
There's no other, tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted, but the truth is discovered

[Outro]
Oh, tempted by the fruit of another
(What's been going on?)
Tempted, but the truth is discovered
(What's been going on?)
Tempted by the fruit of another
(What's been going on?)
Tempted, but the truth is discovered
(What's been going on?)
Tempted by the fruit of another
(What's been going on?)
Tempted, but the truth is discovered
(What's been going on?)
Tempted by the fruit of another
(What's been going on?)
Tempted, but the truth is discovered...
