| FRANK BUTLER: | 
| I’ve had my way with so many girls | 
| An' 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 miserable’s gonna be fun | 
| MALE CHORUS: | 
| His defenses are down | 
| She’s broken my resistance | 
| And he’s in an awful jam. | 
| FRANK BUTLER: | 
| I went into the fight like a lion | 
| MALE CHORUS: | 
| But you came out like a lamb. | 
| FRANK BUTLER: | 
| My defenses are down | 
| MALE CHORUS: | 
| She’s got you where she wants you | 
| And you can’t escape no how | 
| FRANK BUTLER: | 
| I could speak to my heart when it wakened | 
| MALE CHORUS: | 
| But my heart won’t listen now. | 
| FRANK BUTLER: | 
| Like a toothless, clawless tiger, | 
| Like an organ-grinder's bear, | 
| MALE CHORUS: | 
| Like a knight without his armor, | 
| FRANK BUTLER: | 
| Like Samson without his hair. | 
| My defenses are down | 
| FRANK BUTLER and MALE CHORUS: | 
| I might as well surrender | 
| For the battle can’t be won. | 
| FRANK BUTLER: | 
| But I must confess that I like it, | 
| So there’s nothing to be done. | 
| FRANK BUTLER and MALE CHORUS: | 
| Yes, I must confess that I like it | 
| Being miserable’s gonna be fun |
