Something
Eve St. Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow
Someone's 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
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Fight, fight, fight it with all of your might
Chances are that 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
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Aw, let's tear it up
These lyrics convey the struggle between two powerful and contrasting forces. The first verse talks about an "irresistible force" - likely love or attraction - meeting an "old immovable object" - possibly someone who has been hurt before and has built emotional walls to protect themselves. The conflict is that when such opposing forces collide, "something's gotta give". This suggests that one of them will have to yield to the other, implying that something will have to change in order for both parties to coexist in harmony.
The second verse describes the inescapable effect that the irresistible force (represented by the woman's smile) has on the immovable object's heart. The lyrics plead with the object to allow the relationship to happen, because "somewhere, somehow, someone's gotta be kissed". The third verse acknowledges the struggle between the two opposing forces, but also suggests that fighting against their fates may be futile. The lyrics encourage the parties involved to try to resist the attraction, but ultimately accept that "something's gotta give".
Overall, the song is about the struggles and conflicts that can arise when two powerful and contrasting forces collide, and the eventual realization that one or both parties will have to change for the relationship to work.
Line by Line Meaning
When an irresistible force such as you
When someone as lovable as you enters my life
Meets an old immovable object like me
But I'm an old fashioned soul and I have my own ways which I don't intend to change
You can bet just as sure as you live
It's a given that
Something's gotta give
Something's got to change or give way
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Your smile is so contagious
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
That it's defrosting my heart which was once adamant and unyielding
Don't say no because I insist
So please don't say no because I'm determined and persistent about this
Somewhere, somehow
In one way or another
Someone's gotta be kissed
We have to kiss each other at some point
So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store
So, let's be ready for whatever destiny has planned for us
From their vast mysterious sky
From the unknown heavens
I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore
I'll try my best to ignore those lips that I love so much
But how long can anyone try?
But how long can someone resist their feelings?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
We should resist our feelings with all our strength
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
It's possible that on some magical, perfect evening
We'll find out just as sure as we live
We'll know for sure
Something's gotta give
Something will have to change
Fight, fight, fight it with all of your might
Try your best to resist your feelings
Aw, let's tear it up
But oh well, let's just go for it!
Something's gotta give
Something has to give
Something's gotta give
Something will have to change
Something's gotta give
Something's got to give way
