Lyrics: Temper, Temper

I've been trying hard to make amends
For all the fun I've had with all my sins
Alimony's driving me insane
I've got three children but they all look like him

Chorus:
Temper, temper, now darling
You know and I know everything's the same
Nothing ever changed
You can turn the night into my day

Bright light, bright light ladies, you're to blame
Spent my paycheck on you, champagne dame
Mercy, mercy, mama, lipstick stains
Heaven help me, lover, I've been framed
I've been framed

(Chorus)

I've been tryin' hard to make amends, mama
For all the fun I've had with all my sins
Bright light, bright light ladies, they're to blame
You just can't help it with them champagne dames
No, I guess

(Chorus)

Night into my day, mama
