How Can You Resist It

He had brunette hair with blond streaks

A different kind of fellow

Sitting on the road in New Orleans

He ate fillet gumbo, I think I ordered steak

I looked into his eyes and said

For Heaven's sake, listen to me

I got your need

I don't know what to do anymore

I've shown him all of my love and more

And I said stay by my side

Got your ticket to ride

And he blushed at my verbal logistics

And he shied but he came

As he asked me my name

And I said I am love

And how can you resist it

Poetry in motion but it don't pay no dues

And me, I'm always playing my rhythm and blues

Sitting on the road, Bourbon Street

I got country cousins they got a steely knife

But he doesn't want to settle down

For the rest of his life

So I'll just keep it cutting

I don't know what to do anymore

I've shown him all of my love and more

And I said stay by my side

Got your ticket to ride

And he blushed at my verbal logistics

And he shied but he came

As he asked me my name

And I said I am love

And how can you resist it

Now that you've kissed it

How can you resist it

If you go

I know you're gonna miss it

How can you resist it

After all

You told me that you wished it

How can you resist it
