Irresistible Lyrics


Count me in unannounced, drag my nails on the tile
I just follow your scent
You can't just follow my smile
All of your flaws are aligned with this mood of mine
Cutting me to the bone
Nothing left to leave behind
You ought to keep me concealed just like I was a weapon
I didn't come for a fight but I will fight till the end
This might be your battle, might not turn out okay
You know you look so Seattle, but you feel so LA

Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh

And I love the way you hurt me
It's Irresistible, oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby

I'm gonna get you to burst just like you were a bubble
Frame me up on your walls, to keep me out of trouble
Like a moth getting trapped in the light by fixation
Truly free, love it baby, I'm talking no inflation

Too many war wounds and not enough wars
Too few rounds in the ring and not enough settled scores
Too many sharks and not enough blood in the waves
You know I give my lover a four letter name

Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh

And I love the way you hurt me
It's irresistible, oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby

You're second hand smoke
You're second hand smoke
I breath you in, but honey I don't know
What you're doing to me
Mon Cheri, but the truth catches up with us eventually
Tryna say live, live and let live
I'm no good good, admit to this

Second is yours, mi amour
I'm coming for you, and I'm making war

I still love the way you hurt me,
It's irresistible, oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby

Irresistible Song Chart
  • This sadistic song is about an abusive relationship which the victim finds "irresistible." Bassist Pete Wentz said it reminds him of a scene involving Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen in the 1986 biopic Sid & Nancy. "When I think of 'Irresistible' it brings this image to my head, whether it's fictional or real, of Sid and Nancy in an alley garbage raining down on them in an eternal spiral of romance and poison," he explained. "Sometimes it hard not to love what can hurt us the most."
  • Pete Wentz told Kerrang!: "I'm particularly attracted to people that probably have the ability to hurt me, but hopefully they don't."
  • Initially released as a promotional single for American Beauty/American Psycho in early 2015, the song was re-released in a remixed version later in the year with additional vocals by Demi Lovato.
  • The original video, posted in February 2015, shows the band playing a hapless gave of basketball. In January 2016, Fall Out Boy released a new music video for their remix of "Irresistible" featuring Demi Lovato. The clip is a homage to the Toy Story narrative of the *NSYNC clip for "It's Gonna Be Me." In this instance, Fall Out Boy and *NSYNC both exist in the same store as figurine, but the Fall Out Boy dolls are unwanted.

    The video is directed by Wayne Isham, the guy who helmed the "It's Gonna Be Me" visual. It features cameos by the boyband's Chris Kirkpatrick (as an assembly line worker) and Joey Fatone (as an employee in the toy store). Lance Bass also tweeted his approval.

    The band wrote in a post: "I was looking back at the video for 'It's Gonna Be Me' - where they come to life as dolls - and we thought was there an analog to this story. Like somewhere in that same store was there a dollar bin full of toy that no one really wanted that would band together like the misfit, offbrand little outsiders they were.

    The toys no one ever wanted come to life. Where would our band have fit in that story? We called up Wayne Isham, the director who did the original video (as well as some of our other favorite Mötley Crüe and Metlallica videos), and pitched ideas back and forth.

    Before long we came with the treatment- and were lucky enough to get a few cameos from the original source; as well as our partner in crime on the song Demi Lovato."
