Ethel Merman - My Defences Are Down

Tekst piosenki:

I've had my way with so many girls
And it was lots of fun
My system was to know many girls
'Twould keep me safe from one
I find it can't be done

My defences 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 defences 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 weakened
But my heart won't listen now

Like a toothless, clawless tiger
Like an organ-grinder's bear
Like a knight without his armour
Like Samson without his hair

My defences 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
Bein' miserable is gonna be fun

(Your defences are down)
(She's got you where she wants you)
(And you can't escape no how)
I could speak to my heart when it weakened
(But my heart won't listen now)

Like a toothless, clawless tiger
Like an organ-grinder's bear
(Like a knight without his armour)
Like Samson without his hair

My defences are down
(You 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, you must confess that you like it)
Bein' miserable is gonna be fun
