Something's Gotta Give
Love's Inevitable Clash: Something's Gotta Give
Lyrics
Something's got to give
There needs to be a resolution or change
Something's got to give
Emphasizing the necessity for change
Something's got to give
Reiteration of the need for something to change
When an irresistible force such as you
Describing a powerful, compelling force (someone) like the person being addressed
Meets an old immovable object like me
Referring to oneself as unyielding or unchanging
You can bet just as sure as you live
Expressing certainty or assurance about the outcome
Something's got to give
Reasserting the need for change
Something's got to give
Stressing the urgency of the situation
Something's got to give
Continued emphasis on the necessity for change
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Highlighting the captivating nature of the addressee's smile
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Describing one's own heart as unyielding or unchangeable
Don't say no, because I insist
Requesting not to refuse, emphasizing a strong desire
Somewhere, somehow, someone's got to be kissed
Expressing the inevitability of romantic connection or affection
So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store?
Being prepared for unpredictable outcomes
From their vast mysterious sky?
Referring to fate or destiny in a mysterious way
I'll try hard ignoring those lips that I adore
Struggling to ignore someone's beloved lips
But how long can anyone try?
Questioning the ability to resist temptation indefinitely
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Encouraging a fight against the situation with great effort
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
Hopeful anticipation of a future romantic encounter
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Expressing certainty about discovering the outcome
Something's got to give
Reiterating the need for change
Something's got to give
Reiteration of the necessity for something to change
Something's got to give
Emphasizing the urgency of the situation
Fight fight fight it with all of your might
Encouraging a fight against the situation with great effort (repeated)
Chances are that some heavenly star-spangled night
Hopeful anticipation of a future romantic encounter (repeated)
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Expressing certainty about discovering the outcome (repeated)
Something's got to give
Reiteration of the need for change
Something's got to give
Stressing the urgency of the situation
Something's got to give
Continued emphasis on the necessity for change
Something's got to give
Reiteration of the need for change
Something's got to give
-Aw, let's tear it up !
An expression suggesting a willingness to abandon caution and take action
