My Resistance Is Low

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 Your eyes have magic, they seem to say "Come closer, come closer, my darling, come closer" And somehow I can't stay away Can't you see that I want to be adored more than you'll ever know And I'm going overboard with a capital "O" So don't be persistent, baby, keep your distance You know my resistance is low Your eyes have magic, they seem to say "Come closer, come closer, my darling, come closer" And somehow I can't stay away Can't you see that I want to be adored more than you'll ever know And I'm going overboard with a capital "O" So don't be persistent, baby, keep your distance You know my resistance is low So don't be persistent, baby, keep your distance You know my resistance is low My resistance is low My resistance is low My resistance is low
