[Verse 1]
How can it be permissible?
She compromise my principle, yeah, yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical

[Bridge]
She's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform
When there's no other course
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
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible

[Bridge]
She's a natural law
And she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause
I surrender because
She used to look good to me
But now I find her

[Chorus]
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
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]
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
She used to look good to me
Now I find her

[Chorus]
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...)
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible, yeah yeah

[Bridge]
She's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform
When there's no other course
She used to look good to me
But now I find her

[Chorus]
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)
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)

[Outro]
Simply irresistible!

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
