"Temptation Eyes" is a 1971 hit song by The Grass Roots. It was the third single released from their eighth album, More Golden Grass. It reached #15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
The song describes a man trying to win the heart of a girl who is hesitant to love him due to her past experiences; he tells her that she will succumb to him sooner or later.
Keyboardist Dennis Provisor is given a chance to stand out in this song. After the key signature changes, Provisor makes a soulful improvise while the other members sing the verse.
