[Verse 1] Farewell, Irene
Where your dreams are bound, I just can't tell
But we both know, Irene
They won't come true at the bottom of a well
Gain some confidence, Irene
If you speak, let your voice ring out
But keep your grace, Irene
Don't go fallin' in love with yourself

[Chorus] You are a magnet, Irene
Sometimes good people
Draw troublesome things
Sometimes good people
Draw troublesome things

[Verse 2] The heart is funny, Irene
You can't control who it wants to love
So let it love, Irene
Man or woman, or anyone it wants
You dream of the north, Irene
Well then that's where you ought to be
But you gotta want it, Irene
Don't follow any path half-heartedly

[Chorus] You are a magnet, Irene
Sometimes good people
Draw troublesome things
Sometimes good people
Draw troublesome things

You are a magnet, Irene
Sometimes good people
Draw troublesome things
Sometimes good people
Draw troublesome things
