Irving Berlin - My Defenses Are Down lyrics

Frank butler: I've had my way with so many girls An' was lots of fun. My system was to know many girls To keep me safe from one I find it can't 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 weakened 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 weakened 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
