[Verse 1]
Every Friday night I call your butt up on the phone
A deeper voice answers and says you're not at home
Now if you think that I'm a fool who'll go for any line
Then honey, put down all your money, you win every time

[Chorus]
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you walk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you talk
Irresistible bitch
And I really dig the way you kiss
Irresistible
Oh mama, I wish I could resist

[Verse 2]
All my partners ask me why I take so much abuse
Why am I so faithful, honey? Why are you so loose?
They say why am I the one who never gets to take you home?
But they don't know the things you do to me when we're alone

[Chorus]
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you walk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you talk
Irresistible bitch
And I really dig the way you kiss
Irresistible
Oh mama, I wish I could resist

Hurt me, hurt me

[Post-Chorus]
Stole all my honey
Played it off like it was a joke
You're stealing all my honey, baby, keep you by my side
Bleed me till I'm broke

[Verse 3]
Hell if I know why I let you drive my car
Don't I know that walking won't get me very far?
Sure I know that crying over you is just in vain
But all things I lose don't add up to all the things I gain

[Chorus]
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you walk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you talk
Irresistible bitch
And I really dig the way you kiss
Ain't it a shame?
Irresistible
Oh mama, mama, I wish I could resist
Hurt me!

[Post-Chorus]
Stole all my honey
Played it off like it was a joke
Stealing all my honey, baby, keep you by my side
Bleed me till I'm broke

[Outro]
Everybody, everybody dance
Everybody, everybody
Everybody, everybody dance
Everybody
Irresistible bitch
Irresistible bitch
Everybody, everybody dance
Everybody
Irresistible bitch
Everybody, everybody dance
Everybody
Irresistible bitch

Prince

An American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and actor that produced 22 RIAA-platinum albums during his 40-year career, Prince may be known for one of many different things – his turn as “The Kid” in the iconic film/album/8 ½ minute ballad “Purple Rain”, being the writer behind the acclaimed anthem “Kiss,” rivaling Michael Jackson at the pinnacle of his career, being the inspiration behind censorship laws, or being the artist addressed as an unpronounceable symbol throughout the 1990s—but while many know of Prince, most don’t fully understand the impact his legacy left on this world.

Going by many aliases throughout his life, Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958 with his father’s (John L. Nelson) stage name as his own given one. Growing up, Prince suffered from serious epileptic seizures at a very young age, but he had wrote his first composition of many by age seven, and outside of his love for basketball, he wanted music to be his purpose in life. His tumultuous childhood, witnessing alcoholism and abuse, caused him to find refuge in neighbor André Cymone’s home in his teens, where the two competed in local band competitions, leading to Prince’s introduction to Morris Day alongside music with his cousin’s band 94 East, leading him to be courted by record labels and ultimately signed to Warner Bros. Records with complete creative control; at 19, his debut album, For You (1978) was released – Prince played all 19 instruments on the record.

Influenced by the likes of Miles Davis, Rick James, and James Brown, Prince desired to form a music dynasty and after the success of his next albums – the platinum-selling Prince (1979), the sexually-charged Dirty Mind (1980), and politically-motivated Controversy (1981) – he negotiated for the ability to form his own label and manage artists of his own. Prince’s trademark sexual/religious rhetoric within pop-and-dance, funk-rock sound gained him a following, but his opening slates for Rick James and The Rolling Stones were both negatively received and facing bankruptcy, the young artist began to reach for mainstream popularity. Cashing on the drug-influenced doomsday mania of the times, 1982’s 1999 easily achieved that mainstream appeal, landing him on MTV, music charts, and radio stations across the world.
