“Irresistible” is a song produced by Mariah and Damizza from her Charmbracelet album, released in 2002. The track samples Ice Cube's “You Know How We Do It” and features vocals from West Side Connection — Ice Cube, Mack 10 & WC. “‘Irresistible’ was something that I had wanted to do for a long time and I worked on it with Damizza, who is a great producer,” Mariah said about the song. “It took a lot of work to get the whole group together, because they're all doing so much on their own, but I'm really happy with the way it turned out.”

Ice Cube:
Slippin', slidin', gridin', low ridin'
Ain't no hidin' from this hit
Fool, you know how we do it
Irresistible
Just keep it poppin'
Ain't no stoppin'
Fo hoppin', a** droppin'
Just keep it poppin'
Ain't no stoppin'
Fo hoppin', ass droppin'
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
I don't wanna lose you to somebody else
But I can't go on contradicting myself
I know that it's pointless to keep holding on
But something inside tells me you're where I belong
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
I know that it's unrealistic to think
That things will get better
Between you and me
Cause time after time
You just shatter my heart
But when I'm without you
I feel so torn apart
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
Boy
I wish
That I didn't
Love you so
Oh oo oh oo oh oh
I try to tell you no
But you're irresistible
Oh oo oh oo whoah oh
Ice Cube:
Westside, Westside
She's comin' to the westside, westside
Mariah's on the westside, westside
Hittin' on the westside, westside
Mack 10:
Ain't nothin' goin' on but a party and a hit song
Jumpin' all night long
It's like tires gettin' deeper and the game's gettin' flier
Cause the Westside done connected with Mariah
I hit the Grammy party and the 64 is what I drove through
Cause divas like thugs too
Mack 10, and I'm so so gangsta with mills
And I ain't lyin' that's on everything I'm keepin' it real
WC:
Can you feel it
Nothin' can save you from this
Young rider with big wheels and paper
New millenium Clyde and Bonnie, doin' 90
With Giovanni's on the big body
Though your friends say 'Girl he ain't lovin' you right'
You stay down with this thug in ya life
What we got is deeper than a physical
Dub-C and Mariah, gangsta love is irresistible
See I only want it to be like it was
When we got together and first fell in love
Sometimes it's like I'm addicted to you
This love's so consuming
I don't know what to do
Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossible
Everytime I say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
