Looked into her eyes,
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
I try to slither away,
But she's got me
I'm a snake in a jar,
And she's a snake charmer
Na na na, now she's got me
Na na na, now she's got me
Na na na, now she's got me

Temptation struck again
I don't wanna cave in
But I think I'll turn my back on sin
God, He helped me out
'Cause that's what He's about
Always carrying away my doubts

I'm a snake in a jar,
And she's a snake charmer
I try to slither away,
But she's got me
I'm a snake in a jar,
And she's a snake charmer
Na na na . . .
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 helped me when I prayed
And He broke that spell
Broke that spell, now He's got me
Na na na, now He's got me
Na na na, now He's got me

God said I wouldn't be tempted
It won't be more than I can bear
When I see her pretty face
and her short brown hair
God said I wouldn't be tempted
It won't be more than I can bear
When I'm in a bad situation,
He'll get me right out of there
