[Intro: Westside Connection]
Slippin', slidin', glidin'
Low ridin' (yeah)
Ain't no hidin' from this hit (On the real)
Fool, you know how we do it (Irresistible)
Just keep it poppin', ain't no stoppin'
Fo' hoppin', ass droppin'
Keep it poppin', ain't no stoppin' (What, Mariah)
Fo' hoppin' ass droppin' (Westside)

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & (Westside Connection)]
Everytime I try to leave
(She's comin' to the Westiside, Westside)
Something pulls me back, baby
(Mariah's on the Westside, Westside)
Tried and tried to let you go
(Yeah, hittin' on the Westside, Westside)
But it's just impossible (Irresistible)
Every time we say goodbye (Westside, Westside)
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
(She's comin' to the Westiside, Westside)
Wish I didn't need you so (Mariah's on the Westside, Westside)
But you're irresistible (Yeah, hittin' on the Westside, Westside)
(Irresistible)

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
I don't wanna lose you to somebody else
But I can't go on contradicting myself
I know that it's pointless to keep holding on
But something inside tells me you're where I belong

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Every time we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
I know that it's unrealistic to think
That things will get better between you and me
'Cause time after time, you just shatter my heart
But when I'm without you, I feel so torn apart

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Every time we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible

[Bridge: Mariah Carey]
Boy, I wish
That I didn't love you so
(oh oo oh oo oh oh)
I try to tell you no
But you're irresistible
(oh oo oh oo whoah oh)

[Verse 3: Westside Connection]
Westside, Westside
She's comin' to the Westside, Westside (Oh yeah)
Mariah's on the Westside, Westside (Yeah)
Hittin' on the Westside, Westside
Ain't nothin' goin' on but a party and a hit song
Jumpin' all night long
It's like times gettin' deeper and the game's gettin flier
'cause the Westside done connected with Mariah
I hit the Grammy party and the 64 is what I drove through
'cause divas like thugs too
Mack 10, I'm so so gangsta with meals
And I ain't lyin' that's on everything I'm keepin' it real
Can you feel it nothin' can save ya
From this young rider with big wheels and paper
The Millenium Clyde and Bonnie, doin' 90
With Giovannis on the big body
Ya friends say "Girl he ain't lovin' ya right"
You stay down with this thug in ya life
What we got is deeper than physical
Dub C and Mariah, gangsta lovin' is irresistible

[Verse 4: Mariah Carey]
See I only want it to be like it was
When we got together and first fell in love
Sometimes it's just like I'm addicted to you
This love's so consuming
I don't know what to do

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & (Westside Connection)]
Everytime I try to leave
(She's comin' to the Westiside, Westside)
Something pulls me back, baby
(Mariah's on the Westside, Westside)
Tried and tried to let you go
(Yeah, hittin' on the Westside, Westside)
But it's just impossible (Irresistible)
Every time we say goodbye (Westside, Westside)
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
(She's comin' to the Westiside, Westside)
Wish I didn't need you so (Mariah's on the Westside, Westside)
But you're irresistible (Yeah, hittin' on the Westside, Westside)
(Irresistible)
Everytime I try to leave
(She's comin' to the Westiside, Westside)
Something pulls me back, baby
(Mariah's on the Westside, Westside)
Tried and tried to let you go
(Yeah, hittin' on the Westside, Westside)
But it's just impossible (Irresistible)
Every time we say goodbye (Westside, Westside)
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
(She's comin' to the Westiside, Westside)
Wish I didn't need you so (Mariah's on the Westside, Westside)
But you're irresistible (Yeah, hittin' on the Westside, Westside)
(Irresistible)

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
