[Verse 1]
How can it be permissible?
She compromised my principle, yeah, yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical
[Bridge 1]
She's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform
When there's no other cause
[Pre-Chorus]
She used to look good to me
But now I find her
[Chorus]
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
[Verse 2]
Her loving is so powerful, huh!
It's simply unavoidable (woh-hoh)
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible
[Bridge 2]
She's a natural law
And she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause
I surrender because
[Pre-Chorus]
She used to look good to me
But now I find her
[Chorus]
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
[Chorus / (Chorus 2)]
Simply irresistible
(She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistible
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go)
[Bridge 3]
She's unavoidable
I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I'm breaking promises
She's breaking every law
[Pre-Chorus]
She used to look good to me
Now I find her
[Chorus / (Chorus 2)]
Simply irresistible
(She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistible
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go)
[Verse 3]
Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible, yeah yeah
[Bridge 1]
Now, she's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform
When there's no other cause
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, she used to look good to me
But now I find her
[Chorus / (Chorus 2)]
Simply irresistible
(She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistible
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go)
[Chorus / (Chorus 2)]
Simply irresistible
(She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went)
Simply irresistible
(She's all mine, there's no other way to go)
