Written 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

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins 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 someones gotta be kissed

So en garde who knows what the fates might have in store

From their vast mysterious sky

I'll try hard ignorin those lips that 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

Well find out just as sure as we live

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

So en garde who knows what the fates might have in store

From their vast mysterious sky

I'll try hard ignorin those lips that 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

Well find out just as sure as we live

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give

Somethins gotta give
