Irving Berlin - My Defenses Are Down lyrics

Your rating:

I've had my way with so many girls
 An' was lots of fun.
 My scheme was to know many girls
 To keep me safe from one
 I find it can be done.
 My defenses are down
 She's broken my resistance
 And I don't know where I am
 I went into the fight like a lion
 But I came out like a lamb.
 My defenses are down
 She's got me where she wants me
 And I can't escape no how
 I could speak to my heart when it wakened
 But my heart won't listen now.
 Like a toothless, clawless tiger,
 Like an organ-grinder's bear,
 Like a knight without his armor,
 Like Samson without his hair.
 My defenses are down
 I might as well surrender
 For the battle can't be won.
 But I must confess that I like it,
 So there's nothing to be done.
 Yes, I must confess that I like it
 Being miserable's gonna be fun

 MALE CHORUS:
 His defenses are down
 She's broken my resistance
 And he's in an awful jam.

 FRANK BUTLER:
 I went into the fight like a lion

 MALE CHORUS:
 But you came out like a lamb.

 FRANK BUTLER:
 My defenses are down

 MALE CHORUS:
 She's got you where she wants you
 And you can't escape no how

 FRANK BUTLER:
 I could speak to my heart when it wakened

 MALE CHORUS:
 But my heart won't listen now.

 FRANK BUTLER:
 Like a toothless, clawless tiger,
 Like an organ-grinder's bear,
 MALE CHORUS:
 Like a knight without his armor,

 FRANK BUTLER:
 Like Samson without his hair.
 My defenses are down

 FRANK BUTLER and MALE CHORUS:
 I might as well surrender
 For the battle can't be won.

 FRANK BUTLER:
 But I must confess that I like it,
 So there's nothing to be done.

 FRANK BUTLER and MALE CHORUS:
 Yes, I must confess that I like it
 Being miserable's gonna be fun
