Ella Fitzgerald - Something's Gotta Give Lyrics






Somethings gotta give,
Somethings gotta give
somethings gotta give

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets and old immovable object like me
You can bet 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 be 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 as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.

Fight, fight, fight it with all of our might,
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.
Something's gotta, something's gotta give

    Somethings gotta give,
    Somethings gotta give
    Somethings gotta give
    When an irresistible force such as you
    Meets and old immovable object like me
    You can bet 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 be 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 as sure as we live
    Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
    Something's gotta give.
    Fight, fight, fight it with all of our might,
    Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
    We'll find out as sure as we live
    Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
    Something's gotta give.
    Something's gotta , something's gotta give

  9. X.... W....

    Daddy Long Legs

  10. S.... R....

    David Bowie was here...

  11. I.... g....

    Hi. I enjoy your video. Can you do something about your advertiser? It's not really congruent with the video. This is Ella Fitzgerald man…She is the Mother of Modern Music. "Am I's wrong?"

    I.... g....

    Unfortunately, Phil, i have no control over the ads. It's the price of the copyright holder allowing the song to be up on You Tube. I don't make any money off my uploads. I do them solely for everyone's enjoyment.

    I.... g....

    Thank you.

  12. a.... ....

    high five

  13. P.... B....

    i love love you ella forevever

  14. P.... B....

    l you ella forever.

  15. J.... M....

    Ella Fitzgerald just got better and better and was at the top of her game in the 50's and 60's.  Her wide octave range and perfect clarity and phrasing of every lyric rated her perfection.  Always her best when backed up by musicians like Nelson Riddle.

    J.... M....

    +John M
    You can tell when it's Nelson Riddle. Sound like Sinatra arrangements.
    Perfection! Never tire of her! I get Zen when I listen to her!

  16. J.... E....

    I'm so glad my grandmother made me listen to this as a kid. I LOVE ELLA!!!!

  17. F.... N....

    my boyfriend sings this to me in the car:p

  18. A.... ....

    Peggy Lee was a sort of strawberry blonde, I think : /

  19. l.... ....

    I agree, frank sinatra version It's really good, I enjoy it everyime

  20. c.... ....

    That was a good movie. Frank Sinatra also recorded a great version on his Come Dance with Me album with Billy May.

  21. r.... ....

    This popular standard was written for the 1955 musical Daddy Long Legs and performed by Fred Astaire. I loved it in that movie, but Ella's swingin' version is my all-time favorite.

  22. e.... ....

    can't believe this has so few views. just stumbled across this tonight - thanks so much for posting & nice pics. love her work with nelson riddle.

  23. c.... ....

    In addition to Ella's great singing, Nelson Riddle's wonderful arrangement deserves much of the credit.

  24. M.... P....

    I am 16 years old and I absolutely ADORE this! Never heard her version before but WOW! :) <3 Thank you for putting up.

  25. S.... W....

    What I would give to go back in time and meet her! :D

  26. D.... t....

    Billie Holiday.

  27. D.... O....

    Billie Holiday, may be?

  28. j.... w....

    Maybe you're thinking of Billie Holiday?

  29. c.... ....

    @Stinkfist194 Without more information It's difficult to know who you mean. Keely Smith and Barbra Streisand certainly fit your description.

  30. P.... ....

    Dean Domino, you classy ghoul, you.

  31. S.... L....

    Star Wars add kind of alters my jazzy mood. Was cool though.

  32. N.... K....

    ah Ella how you make my heart flutter :)

  33. s.... ....

    @Milkshakke1, don't worry: voices such as hers will never die, thanks to the miracles of the recording sciences, and savvy listeners such as you will always respond to them! You might enjoy some of Julie London's songs as well; until recently, I had VERY erroneously considered her just a mediocre actress.

  34. Q.... ....

    simply brilliant

  35. f.... ....

    Fantastic!

  36. S.... ....

    this would of brought more energy in New Vegas

  37. A.... C....

    fight fight fight fight (outlining a B flat minor nine chord) @2:02 gives me goosebumps every time

  38. e.... s....

    adsljfoiasjdiofja I love Ella Fitzgerald so much. I'm pretty sure I was born in the wrong time period; jazz and singers like this make my heart soar.

  39. v.... ....

    Just checkin' out some of your videos and saying hello!

  40. d.... ....

    @Milkshakke1 LOL...here's a story...a few years ago when I was sub teaching, when rap crap was at it's height, a student came up to me and asked me who my favorite black singers were (he was middle school) and I tolod him...Ella Fitzgerald and Kathleen Battle....he was like HUH??? But it's great that you enjoy Ella and yes she is immensly talented...keep it going....

  41. c.... ....
