My defenses are down - Ethel Merman

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
