Lyrics

CAN I RESIST YOU?

You looked so like my first love
That I couldn’t look away
The resemblance was uncanny you might say

I’ve been married many years
I wasn’t looking for romance
So all that I allowed myself was a slow dance

And after that once, I went on with my life
A patient mom, a faithful wife
But running into you here now, I have to say:

CHORUS: Can I resist you?
Can I ignore your sweet touch?
Baby, I’ve missed you
I think about you so much
Well I know we said we’d never end up in this place again
But can I resist you now like I did then?

Well, it’s getting on to closing time
At this old seedy bar
I put the quarters in the jukebox and my body in your arms

And you’re whispering against my neck
While I play with fire
Inside, my conscience is making war with my desire

So I step a little closer, daring myself to make a choice
And I hear myself whisper in a choked-up voice:

CHORUS:

Tag: And there’s no place I would rather be than in your arms again
Can I resist you now like I did then?
