Irresistible
The Corrs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're irresistible, you're mine

Don't want you for the weekend
Don't want you for a day
Don't need a love divided
Don't want to feel this way

See I want you to need me (the way I need you)
Just like I need you (the way I see you)
And I want you to see me
Like no one before

You're irresistible and natural, physical
It's indefinable and magical, illogical
So make you mine-able, you're mine

So can't you see I'm tortured (tortured)
Oh, can't you hear my pain?
If you just let me show you (show you)
I'll be your summer rain

Then you'll feel that you want me (the way I'm feeling)
Just like I want you (the way I want you)
And you know nothing's better
It's like nothing before

You're irresistible and natural, physical
It's indefinable and magical, illogical
So make you mine-able, you're mine

Now you feel what I'm feeling (don't you feel what I'm feeling)
Don't you know that it's more (it can take you places)
It can take you places like never before
You're irresistible and natural, physical
It's indefinable and magical, illogical
So make you mine-able, you're mine (you're irresistible)
You're irresistible and natural, physical (such a natural, indescribable)
So indefinable and magical, illogical (so indefinable, so illogical)
So make you mine-able, you're mine (make you mine-able)
