Tommy Homonym - Irresistible Lyrics
What’s it like to be like you,With all those heads turningIn the sea of envy you sail through,Spreading waves of yearning?I can’t rise above it all, alas.I want you, too; I’m sure that’s clear as glass.I’m not that easy, but you’re irresistible.Is it like a siege to bePinned by all those eyes?With relentless scrutiny,Top to toe, they fantasize.Even the blind swoon when they smell you,But none of us would ever dare to tell you.It can’t be easy to be irresistible.There’s a certain luxuryIn feeling it can never be.All of us around you glowWith the knowledge that we’ll never know your touchWanting it so much—But fearing it would take us too high, thenWe’d never get back home again.How’s it feel to stop and stareAt the throng before you,And know that if you spot your equal there,They already adore you?Or is it better when they’re uglier than you,So that they’re not only willing, but kind of grateful too?If that’ll do, I find you irresistible.
