Irresistible
Mariah Carey Lyrics

Everytime I try to leave
Although I try to end the relationship, I can't seem to walk away.

Something pulls me back baby
There's a strong force that keeps me attached to you.

Tried and tried to let you go
I've put in so much effort to move on, but it's been unsuccessful.

But it's just impossible
No matter what I do, leaving you seems out of the question.

Everytime we say goodbye
Even though we've had multiple breakups, every ending is still difficult.

Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
I can't help but cry when we part ways.

Wish I didn't need you so
I wish I wasn't dependent on you.

But you're irresistible
Your charm and appeal make it impossible for me to walk away.

I don't want to lose you to somebody else
I don't want to see you with anyone else, but I fear that could happen.

But I can't go on contradicting myself
I am conflicted about my feelings and actions.

I know that it's pointless to keep hodling on
I understand it may be futile to hold onto this relationship.

But something inside tells me you're where I belong
Despite the uncertainty, I still feel a strong connection with you.

I know that it's unrealistic to think
I am aware that my expectations may not be practical or achievable.

That things will get better
I have my doubts things will improve between us.

Between you and me
Regarding our relationship.

'Cause time after time
Repeatedly and consistently,

You just shatter my heart
Your actions cause me great emotional pain.

But when I'm without you
Despite the hurt, being away from you is difficult.

I feel so torn apart
I experience an overwhelming sense of sadness and confusion.

Boy
Addressing her lover.

I wish
Expressing her desire.

That I didn't
Reflecting on a regret.

Love you so
Admitting her deep affection.

(oh oo oh oo oh oh)
Repeating a melodic phrase in the song.

I try to tell you no
Attempting to resist the relationship.

But you're irresistible
However, you're too captivating to resist.

(oh oo oh oo whoah oh)
Repeating a melodic phrase in the song.

See I only want it to be like it was
She wishes for the happy times in their past relationship.

When we got together and first fell in love
Thinking back to their early romance.

Sometimes it's like I'm addicted to you
Comparing her attachment to an addiction.

This love's so consuming
The intensity of their love affects every aspect of her life.

I don't know what to do
She is unsure of the next step to take.
