Irving Berlin - My Defenses Are Down (Annie Get Your Gun) lyrics

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 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 mis'rable is gonna be fun

My defenses are down
-She's broken his resistance
-And he's in an awful jam
I went into the fight like a lion
-But you came out like a lamb

My defenses 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 wakened
-But your 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
-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
Being mis'rable is gonna be fun
