Lyrics
I can’t resist you
Heaven knows that I should
And I would if I could, but I can’t
I can’t resist you
When I’m looking at you
You can practic’ly do as you please
I’m yours completely
From my head to my toes
Ev’ry part of me knows that I’m yours
I’m yours completely
Ev’ry time that you speak
I begin to get weak in the knees
I try to be strong
But something goes wrong
I’m in your power when I’m in your arms
I’ve tried to stop fate
But now it’s too late
So, I don’t even try
‘Cause I know that I can’t resist you
I’m a coward to say you affect me this way
But you do
I can’t resist you
Heaven knows that I should
And I would if I could, but I can’t
