Something's Gotta Give

Johnny Mercer

When an irresistible force
Such as you.
Meets an old immovable object like me.
You can bet as sure as you live.
Something gotta give
Something gotta give
Something 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 on guard.
Who knows what the faiths have in store.
From there fast 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.
You'll find out
As sure as we live.
Something's really got to give
