My Defences Are Down
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
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
