Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,

Something's gotta give!
D B7 Cdim A6 A Asus4 A
When an ir - re - sis - ti - ble force, such as you,

Warms an old im - plac - a - ble heart, such as mine,

Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna be kissed.

But how long can anyone try?

We'll find out as sure as we live
