Looked into her eyes, and I was hypnotized
And I don’t think that’s a big surprise
I made up my mind, I would have to try
To let this temptation pass me by
I’m a snake in a jar, and she’s a snake charmer
Try to slither away, but she’s got me
I’m a snake in a jar, and she’s a snake charmer
No, no, no, now she’s got me
No, no, no, now she’s got me
No, no, no, now she’s got me
Temptation struck again, and I almost caved in
But I had to turn my back on sin
God, He helped me out, cause that’s what He’s about
Always there when my mind’s filled with doubt
I’m a snake in a jar, and she’s a snake charmer
Try to slither away, but she’s got me
I’m a snake in a jar, and she’s a snake charmer
No, no, no
I’m a snake in a jar, and she’s a snake charmer
I think that I’ll be okay, but I just can’t tell
I’m a snake in a jar, and she’s a snake charmer
But God heard me when I prayed, and He broke that spell
He broke that spell, now He’s got me
No, no, no, now He’s got me
No, no, no, now He’s got me
Yeah
God said I would be tempted
Beyond what I can bare
Did he see her pretty face?
And her short brown hair?
God said I would be tempted
Beyond what I can bare
But when I’m in a pickle
He’ll get me right out of there
