| SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE
|
| When an irresistible force such as you
|
| Meets an old immovable object like me
|
| You can bet as sure as you live
|
| Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give,
|
| Something’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 gonna be kissed.
|
| So en garde who knows what the fates have in store
|
| from their vast mysterious sky?
|
| I’ll try hard ignoring those lips 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 as sure as we live
|
| Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give,
|
| Something’s gotta give.
