I've been tryin' hard to make amends
For all the fun I've had with all my sins
Alimony's drivin' me insane
Got three children, but they all look like him

Temper, temper, now darlin'
You know and I know
Everything's the same
Nothin' ever changed
You can turn the night into my day

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

Temper, temper, now darlin'
Oh, you know and I know
Everything's the same
Nothin' ever changed
You can turn the night into my day

And I 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
I just can't help it with them champagne dames
No, I can't

Temper, temper, now darlin'
Yeah, you know and I know
Everything's the same
Nothin' ever changed
You can turn the night into my day
Night into my day, mama
