Annie Get Your Gun - 1999 Broadway Cast feat. Bernadette Peters & Tom Wopat -
Annie Get Your Gun (The 1999 New Broadway Cast Recording)
My Defenses Are Down
I've had my way with so many girls
And it was lots of fun
My system was to know many girls
To keep me safe from one
I find it can't be done
(Frank)
You comin' with us?
We'll paint the town red, Frank
Sorry, fellas, I can't make it
Gettin' engaged tonight!
(What?!)
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 weakened
But my heart won't listen now
Like a toothless, clawless tiger (ooh)
Like an organ grinder's bear (ah)
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
Bein' miserable
Is gonna be fun
(His defenses are down)
I went into the fight like a lion
(But you came out like a lamb)
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)
Bein' miserable
Is gonna be fun
Yeah
And it was lots of fun
My system was to know many girls
To keep me safe from one
I find it can't be done
(Frank)
You comin' with us?
We'll paint the town red, Frank
Sorry, fellas, I can't make it
Gettin' engaged tonight!
(What?!)
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 weakened
But my heart won't listen now
Like a toothless, clawless tiger (ooh)
Like an organ grinder's bear (ah)
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
Bein' miserable
Is gonna be fun
(His defenses are down)
I went into the fight like a lion
(But you came out like a lamb)
My defenses are down

(Yes, you must confess that you like it)
Bein' miserable
Is gonna be fun
Yeah
