Something's Gotta Give - Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie

Loving you, I thought I couldn't get no higher Your November rain could set the night on fire Night on fire But we could only burn so long Counterfeit emotions only run skin deep Know you're lying, when you're lying next to me Next to me How did we get so far gone? I should know by now You should know by now We should know by now Something's gotta give Something's gotta break But all I do is give And all you do is take Something's gotta change But I know that it won't No reason to stay is a good reason to go Is a good reason to go, oh-oh, mmh-mmm I have never heard a silence quite so loud I walk in the room and you don't make a sound Make a sound You're good at making me feel small If it doesn't hurt me, why do I still cry? If it didn't kill me, then I'm half alive Half alive How did we get so far gone? I should know by now You should know by now We should know by now Something's gotta give Something's gotta break But all I do is give And all you do is take Something's gotta change But I know that it won't No reason to stay is a good reason to go Is a good reason to go I should know by now You should know by now I think I'm breaking right now I should know by now You should know by now I think I'm breaking right now Something's gotta give Something's gotta break All I do is give And all you do is take Something's gotta change (Something's gotta change) But I know that it won't (I know that it won't) No reason to stay is a good reason to go Is a good reason to go Something's gotta give

When an irresistible force such as you Meets an old immovable object like me You can bet just as sure as you live Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Something's gotta give When an irrepressible smile such as yours Warms an old implacable heart such as mine Don't say no, because I insist Somewhere Somehow Someone's gonna get kissed So, en garde, who knows what the fates have in store From their vast mysterious sky? I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore But how long can anyone try? Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night We'll find out just as sure as we live Something's gotta give Something's gotta give Something's gotta give

Spinning my wheels for too many miles Spending my love like it's going out of style Baby if you want me why don't you show me This ain't no way to live Something's gotta give Or something's gonna break I don't know how much more I can take Something's gotta go Or nothing's gonna change If it ain't me guess I'll be the one to blame Something's gotta give Taking this highway as far as it goes Turned out to be just a dead end road Baby if you need me why don't you tell me This can't be all that there is Something's gotta give Or something's gonna break I don't know how much more I can take Something's gotta go Or nothing's gonna change If it ain't me guess I'll be the one to blame Something's gotta give Ooh Something's gotta give Ooh Ooh Something's gotta give Or something's gonna break I don't know how much more I can take Something's gotta go Or nothing's gonna change If it ain't me guess I'll be the one to blame Something's gotta give Ooh Something's gotta give Oooooh Something's gotta give Oooooooh Something's gotta give

Ev'ry honeybee fills with jealousy When they see you out with me I don't blame them goodness knows Honeysuckle rose When you're passin' by flowers drop and sigh And I know the reason why You're much sweeter goodness knows Honeysuckle rose Don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup You're my sugar it's so sweet when you stir it up When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose. Don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup You're my sugar it's so sweet when you stir it up When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose I said you're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose

Creme tangerine de Montelimar A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle Cool cherry cream (nice apple tart) I feel your taste all the time we're apart Coconut fudge really blows down the blues But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle You might not feel it now But when the pain cuts through You're going to know and how The sweat is going to fill your head When it becomes too much You're going to shout aloud (But you'll have to have them all pulled out) (After the Savoy truffle) Creme tangerine (de Montelimar) A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle
