My Defenses are Down by Original Broadway Cast of Annie Get Your Gun Lyrics

[FRANK]
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

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
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 mis'rable is gonna be fun

[MALE Chorus]
Your defenses are down
She's got you where she wants you
And you can't escape no how

[FRANK]
I could speak to my heart when it weakened

[MALE Chorus]
But your heart won't listen now

[FRANK]
Like a toothless, clawless tiger
Like an organ grinder's bear

[MALE Chorus]
Like a knight without his armor
[FRANK]
Like Samson without his hair

My defenses are down

[MALE Chorus]
You might as well surrender
For the battle can't be won

[FRANK]
But I must confess that I like it
So there's nothing to be done

[MALE Chorus]
Yes, you must confess that you like it

[FRANK]
Being mis'rable

[FRANK & MALE Chorus]
Is gonna be fun
