Lyrics
Irresistible
You cried and you stood up
And here's what you said to me
We'll be together if it is meant to be
If it's meant to be
Well, tell me who's deciding?
Maybe we should ask the guy you're hiding
If you could change places and hold me like you're holding him
Would you understand my heart is breaking?
If I could trade faces and look into your eyes with his
Would I discover what it is that makes him irresistible?
Everyone saw it
The magic between us two
Everyone felt it
I know that you feel it, too
In the dark alone with me
You would confide it
In the morning run to him where you denied it
REFRAIN
Anyone can see the path you're choosing
Let me ask you, do you see the man you're losing?
