Irving Berlin – My Defenses Are Down lyrics
Frank butler:
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
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:

Frank butler:
My defenses are down
Male chorus:

Being miserable's gonna be fun
