Thread Name: Lyr Req: My Resistance is Low
Subject: Lyr Add: MY RESISTANCE IS LOW (Adamson, Carmichael
That's pretty good, Marje, from memory. According to my Hoagy Carmichael songbook, it's just a couple of words different, a link line before the final verse, and an ending. I've put the changes in Italics.

Words by HAROLD ADAMSON
Music by HOAGY CARMICHAEL

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 break away

Can't you see that I want to be adored
More than you'll ever know
I'm going overboard
With a capital "O"

So don't be persistent
Please keep your distance
You know my resistance is low
