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
Now, 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, mystеrious 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
Chancеs 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 gotta give
(Instrumental break)

But how long can anyone try?

Oh, 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
Oh, something's gotta give
Something’s gotta give
Something’s gotta give
