Irving Berlin My Defenses Are Down lyrics

I've had my way with so many girls
And 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 miserables gonna be fun


His defenses are down


She's broken my 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 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 miserables gonna be fun
