Something's Gotta Give
The Film Score Orchestra 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

When an irresistible force such as you
When someone as irresistible as you enters my life and disrupts my routine
Meets an old immovable object like me
Colliding with someone like me, who is stuck in their ways and unchanging
You can bet just as sure as you live
It's certain and inevitable
Something's gotta give
Change is going to happen
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
When your radiant smile is so contagious it can't be contained
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
So much so that it starts to melt away my hard exterior
Don't say no because I insist
I won't take no for an answer
Somewhere, somehow
At some point in time, in some way
Someone's gotta be kissed
Someone is going to receive a kiss
So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store
Let's prepare ourselves for what fate has in store for us
From their vast mysterious sky
From whatever unknowable force controls our destiny
I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore
I'll attempt to resist the temptation of kissing you
But how long can anyone try?
It's difficult to resist forever
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Let's each put up a fight
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
It's possible a magical, star-filled night could hold the answer
We'll find out just as sure as we live
We will know the outcome without a doubt
Something's gotta give
Change is going to happen
Aw, let's tear it up
Let's embrace the change and go all in
