Something's Gotta Give
McGuire Sisters Lyrics

Something's gotta give
The situation cannot continue on as it has been and something needs to change.

When an irresistible force such as you
When someone as charming as you enters the picture,

Meets and old immovable object like me
And encounters someone like me who is set in their ways and hard to move,

You can bet as sure as you live
You can be certain that something will have to give.

When an irrepressible smile such as yours
When your smile is so contagious and uplifting,

Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
And touches a heart like mine that has become hardened over time,

Don't say no because I insist
Please don't reject me, I am determined and persistent.

Somewhere, somehow
At some point in time and place,

Someone's gonna be kissed
We will share a romantic moment and share a kiss.

So en garde who knows what the fates have in store
Let's be ready for whatever destiny has in mind for us,

From their vast mysterious sky
From the unknown and unpredictable forces of the universe,

I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore
I will attempt to resist the temptation of your lovely lips that I admire,

But how long can anyone try
But it's difficult to hold back for too long,

Fight, fight, fight
We need to put up a strong fight to resist the external forces that want to pull us apart.

Fight, fight it with all of our might
We must do whatever it takes to persevere through any obstacles in our way.

Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
There is a likelihood that one magical night under the stars,

We'll find out as sure as we live
We will eventually know for certain what will happen between us.

Something's gotta give
The situation will reach a breaking point and change will occur.

Something's gotta
There is no avoiding the changes that will take place.

Something's gotta give
The situation is not sustainable and will eventually give way to something new.
