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
You are a magnet, Irene
Sometimes good people draw troublesome things
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 than that's where you oughta be
But you gotta want it, Irene, don't follow any path half-heartedly
You are a magnet, Irene
Sometimes good people draw troublesome things
