Simply Irresistible
Robert Palmer · Gold [2007]
She compromised my principle, yeah, yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical
She's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform
When there's no other course
She used to look good to me
But now I find her
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
Her loving is so powerful, huh
It's simply unavoidable, whoa-oh
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible
She's a natural law
And she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause
I surrender because
She used to look good to me
But now I find her
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
(Simply irresistible) She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine
There's no other way to go
She's unavoidable
I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings that I never felt before
I'm breaking promises
She's breaking every law
She used to look good to me
Now I find her
(Simply irresistible) She's so fine
There's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine
There's no other way to go
Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible
She's a craze you'd endorse
She's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform
When there's no other course
Well she used to look good to me
But now I find her
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible
She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine
There's no other way to go
She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
(Simply irresistible) She's all mine
There's no other way to go
Simply irresistible
