Betty Buckley - My Defenses Are Down (Annie Get Your Gun) Lyrics
FRANK BUTLER:I've had my way with so many girlsAn' was lots of fun.My scheme was to know many girlsTo keep me safe from oneI find it can be done.My defenses are downShe's broken my resistanceAnd I don't know where I amI went into the fight like a lionBut I came out like a lamb.My defenses are downShe's got me where she wants meAnd I can't escape no howI could speak to my heart when it wakenedBut 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 downI might as well surrenderFor 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 itBeing miserable's gonna be funMALE CHORUS:His defenses are downShe's broken my resistanceAnd he's in an awful jam.FRANK BUTLER:I went into the fight like a lionMALE CHORUS:But you came out like a lamb.FRANK BUTLER:My defenses are downMALE CHORUS:She's got you where she wants youAnd you can't escape no howFRANK BUTLER:I could speak to my heart when it wakenedMALE CHORUS:But my heart won't listen now.FRANK BUTLER:Like a toothless, clawless tiger,Like an organ-grinder's bear,MALE CHORUS:Like a knight without his armor,FRANK BUTLER:Like Samson without his hair.My defenses are downFRANK BUTLER and MALE CHORUS:I might as well surrenderFor the battle can't be won.FRANK BUTLER:But I must confess that I like it,So there's nothing to be done.FRANK BUTLER and MALE CHORUS:Yes, I must confess that I like itBeing miserable's gonna be fun
