Something's Gotta Give
Feinstein Michael 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
Aww, let's tear it up

When an irresistible force such as you
When someone as compelling as you crosses paths with someone as unchanging as me
Meets an old immovable object like me
Encounters a person who cannot be swayed or influenced like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
It is certain beyond doubt or hesitation
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
When an uncontrollable and infectious smile, like the one you have
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Touching the rigid and unyielding heart I have
Don't say no because I insist
It's something worth pursuing and not worth rejecting
Somewhere, somehow
Sometime, somewhere
Someone's gotta be kissed
Someone has to be kissed
So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store
Therefore, be prepared, the future could be unpredictable
From their vast mysterious sky
From the unknown and immense universe
I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore
I will attempt to ignore tempting lips that I adore
But how long can anyone try?
But for how long can one resist temptation?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Fight with all our strength and energy
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
There is a possibility that on a beautiful starry night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
We will discover it with certainty as long as we live
Something's gotta give
It cannot remain the same, something has to change
Aww, let's tear it up
Let's give it our all
