Something's Gotta Give

by Johnny Mercer

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just 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 gotta be kissed

So, en garde!
Who knows what the fates might have in store
From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard
Ignoring those lips that I adore
But how long can anyone try?

Fight, fight, fight it with all of your might
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gonna give
