Irresistible
Jessica Simpson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I don't know what it is
But something about you is so irresistible

Don't you try and tell me that he's not my type
To hide what I feel inside
When he makes me weak with desire
I know that I'm supposed to make him wait
Let him think I like the chase But I can't stop fanning the fire
I Know I meant to say no

But he's irresistible
Up close and personal
Now inescapable
I can hardly breathe
More than just physical
Deeper than spiritual
His ways are powerful
And irresistible to me
(Yeah yeah, I can hardly breathe)

Don't you think I'm trying to tell my heart what's right
That I should really say goodnight
But I can't stop myself from falling
Maybe I'll tell him that I feel the same
That I don't want to play no game
'Cause when I feel his arms wrapped around me
I know I meant to say no
(I meant to say no)

But he's irresistible (irresistible)
Now inescapable
I can hardly breathe
(I can hardly breathe)
More than just physical
Deeper than spritual
His ways are powerful
Irresistible to me

Can't you see whenever he's close to me
I really find it hard to breathe
he's so irresistible
Baby you know it's more than just spiritual
His kisses are powerful

He's so irresistible
Up close and personal
Now inescapable
I can hardly breathe
(I can hardly breath)
More than just physical
Deeper than spiritual
His ways are powerful
Irresistible to me

He's irresistible
Up close and personal (irresistible to me)
I can hardly breathe
More than just physical
Deeper than spritual




His ways are powerful
Irresistible to me

Overall Meaning

In Jessica Simpson's song "Irresistible," the singer is expressing her strong attraction to a person she knows she should resist. She acknowledges that this person may not be her usual "type" and that she's supposed to make him wait, but she can't help the desire she feels when she's around him. Despite her attempts to tell herself what's right and to resist him, she finds it difficult to say no to him and has fallen for him. She describes the attraction as more than just physical; it's deeper than spiritual and his ways are powerful.


The lyrics convey the feeling of being in the midst of a powerful, intense attraction that seems to be beyond the singer's control. She is torn between what she knows is right and the irresistible pull of her desire. The use of lyrics like "can hardly breathe" and "powerful" convey the overwhelming nature of this attraction.

Christian = saved soul who became new creature and who does daily the will of his Heavenly Father:
keep
preach
watch
expose
You 100% youΒ΄re a Christian? There is a risk to be lukewarm Christian aka cast away.

Christian = not an old creature who still busy living life in Babylon.
