My Resistance Is Low
Love's Irresistible Pull: Robin Sarstedt's 'My Resistance Is Low'
Lyrics
You touch my fingertips and my heart is aglow
You touching my fingertips makes my heart feel warmly illuminated.
You bend to kiss my lips and I can't let you go
When you lean in to kiss me, I find it hard to let you go.
Maybe I should resist
Perhaps I should try to resist this attraction.
I'm a fool, I know
I'm aware I'm acting foolishly.
But at a time like this, my resistance is low (your resistance is low)
Despite knowing better, in moments like these, I find it hard to resist my feelings (spoken from the perspective of the person being sung to).
Your eyes have magic
Your eyes hold a captivating quality.
They seem to say
They appear to convey an invitation.
"Come closer, come closer, my darling, come closer"
They seem to say, "Come closer, my darling."
And somehow I can't break away
Despite my attempts, I can't seem to break away from this allure.
Can't you see that I wanna be adored
I desire to be deeply admired and cherished.
More than you'll ever know?
More than you can understand.
And I'm going overboard
I'm going excessively beyond limits.
With a capital "O"
Emphasizing that I'm going extremely overboard in my feelings.
So don't be persistent
Don't persistently pursue me.
Please keep your distance
Please maintain your distance.
You know my resistance is low
I'm expressing that I am vulnerable and find it hard to resist.
You touch my fingertips and my heart is aglow
You touching my fingertips makes my heart feel warmly illuminated (repeated).
You bend to kiss my lips and I can't let you go
When you lean in to kiss me, I find it hard to let you go (repeated).
Maybe I should resist
Perhaps I should try to resist this attraction (repeated).
I'm a fool, I know (resist me, baby)
I'm aware I'm acting foolishly (repeated).
But at a time like this
Despite knowing better, in moments like these, I find it hard to resist my feelings (spoken from the perspective of the person being sung to) (repeated).
My resistance is low (I know, I know)
-(Your eyes) your eyes (have magic)
Your eyes hold a captivating quality (repeated).
(They seem) they seem (to say)
They appear to convey an invitation (repeated).
They're saying "come closer, come closer, my darling, come closer"
They seem to say, "Come closer, my darling" (repeated).
And somehow I can't break away
Despite my attempts, I can't seem to break away from this allure (repeated).
Can't you see that I wanna be adored
I desire to be deeply admired and cherished (repeated).
More than you'll ever know?
More than you can understand (repeated).
And I'm going overboard
Emphasizing that I'm going extremely overboard in my feelings (repeated).
With a capital "O"
