Something's Gotta Give - Natalie Cole

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.

— Johnny Mercer
