I CAN'T RESIST YOU
Will Donaldson / Ned Weever  1940

as recorded by Benny Goodman 
& his Orchestra (vocal - Helen Forrest)  
July 3rd 1940


I can't resist you,
Heaven knows that I should,
And I would if I could,
But I can't!
I can't resist you,
When I'm looking at you,
You can practically do
As you please!

I'm yours completely,
From my head to my toes,
Every part of me knows
That I'm yours!
I'm yours completely,
Every time that you speak,
I begin to get weak
In the knees!

I try to be strong,
But something goes wrong,
I'm in your power when I'm in your arms!
I try to stop fate,
But now it's too late,
so I don't even try,
'Cause I know that I -

'Can't resist you,
I'm a coward to say
You affect me this way,
But you do!
I can't resist you,
Heaven knows that I should
And I would if I could,
But I can't!
