Hoagy Carmichael
My Resistance Is Low
[Verse 1]
You touch my fingertips
And my heart is aglow
You bend to kiss my lips
And I can't let you go
Maybe I should resist
I'm a fool, I know
But at a time like this
My resistance is low
[Bridge]
Your eyes have magic
They seem to say
Come closer, come closer
My darling, come closer
And, somehow, I can't break away
[Verse 2]
Can't you see that I wanna be adored?
More than you'll ever know
I'm goin' overboard
With a capital O
So, don't be persistent
Please keep your distance
You know my resistance is low
[Bridge]
Your eyes have magic
They seem to say
"Come closer, comе closer
My darling, come closer"
And, somеhow, I can't break away
[Verse 3]
Can't you see that I wanna be adored?
More than you'll ever know
I'm goin' overboard
With a capital O
So, don't be persistent
Please keep your distance
You know my resistance is low
Don't be persistent
Baby, keep your distance
You know my resistance is low
[Outro (spoken)]
No, please
No, don't
Oh, leave off, will you?
