When an irresistible force such
as you
Meets an old immovable object
like me
You can bet just as sure as you
live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
When an irrepressible smile such
as yours
Warms an old implacable heart
such as mine
Don't say no, because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's
gotta be kissed
So, en garde, who knows what the
fates might have in store?
>From their vast mysterious
sky?
I'll try hard ignorin' those
lips that I adore
But how long can anyone try?
Fight, fight, fight, fight,
fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly
star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as
we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
<Instrumental>
Fight fight fight it with all
of your might
Chances are that some heavenly
star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as
we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
