Irresistable Bitch
Prince Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my partners ask me why I take so much abuse
Why am I so faithful, honey, why are you so loose?
Why am I the one who never gets to take you home?
They don't know the things you do to me when we're alone

Irresistible bitch
I love the way you walk
Irresistible bitch
Ooh, the way you talk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you kiss
Irresistible
Oh God, I wish I could resist

Every Friday night I call your butt up on the phone
A deeper voice answers and it says you're not at home
I bet you think that I'm a fool who'll go for any line
Well honey, put down all your money, you win every time

Irresistible bitch
I love the way you walk
Irresistible bitch
Ooh, the way you talk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you kiss
Irresistible
Oh God, I wish I could resist, turn it up
Good Lordy-Lord
Turn it up
Good Lordy-Lord

Wait a minute!
Hell if I know why I let you drive my car
Don't I know that walking won't get me very far?
Don't I know that crying over you is just in vain
Well the things I lose, just don't add up to all the things I gain

Ooh, irresistible bitch
I love the way you walk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you talk
Irresistible bitch, I love the way you kiss
Is this all?
Oh God I wish I could resist

Turn it up!
Turn it up!
Turn it up!
Turn it up!
Turn it up!

Wait a minute, I want a say something

Stole all my money
Played it off like it was a joke
Stealing all my money, baby, keep you by my side
Bleed me till I'm broke, oh yeah

Such an irresistible bitch, uh
Wish I could, wish I could resist

Irresistible bitch
I love the way you walk
Irresistible bitch
Ooh, the way you talk
Irresistible bitch
I love the way you kiss
Irresistible
Oh God, I wish I could resist

Turn it up!





Danceable bitch, uh

Everybody, everybody dance
Everyone, let's dance.
