Such an easy evil....

It started with thinking "like a moth to a flame" and then this song cued itself up. Is it in the lyrics? ✓
A former ear-worm for a while.

This is the version which first caught my ear, by Travis Wammack, but the song was written by Alan O'Day and widely covered, including by John Kay and John Travolta, along with Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Sinatra.

EASY EVIL

Words and Music by Alan O'Day

Well you are such an easy evil
Such a sensuous sin
Sometimes I don't know where I'm going
'Till I've been taken in

Such an easy evil
Such a promise of fun
Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing
Till I'm done, you're a sneaky one

Here she comes now touching me, calling my name again
Here I go now, like a moth to a flame
I'm a sucker for you baby

Such an easy evil
Such a sensuous sin
Sometimes I don't know where I'm going
"Till I've been taken in
I've been taken in
