My Defenses Are Down

Irving Berlin

    Continues after the ad

    [Verse:]
    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

    [1st refrain:]
    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

    Continues after the ad

    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

    [2nd refrain:]
    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
