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
