Way you look at me like that
Something's got to give pretty soon
Throw it on a camel's back
Something's got to give pretty soon
Living hard to chase the dream
Way beyond our ways and means
Yours don't mean a goddamn thing
That's what you said but don't believe it
That shattered look upon your face
Something's got to give pretty soon
Swallowed but can't stand the taste
Bark at the wind, chase the moon
Living fast and drinking lots
List of things we haven't got
Tired of life with the have-nots
That's what you said, and I believe it
Maybe what you need is for someone to send you flowers
Someone strong and mean who can prove he has the power to
Show you more than charm and take you on your way
To where you want to be at the end of the day
And it breaks my heart in two to know it ain't meant to be
But it ain't me. It ain't me
You said that it's the things I do
About me that's attracted you
So if I started doing something else
What would we have left?
And you say you just want compromise
Then act so different all the time
Now the reasons why you said goodbye
Just another way of telling lies
Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon
Or else we're gonna lose the very things that made it bloom
Sitting in silence in a cold and lonely room
While the world goes on around us
Something's got to give, got to give pretty soon
Or else we're gonna hate each other
And that would be the saddest thing I ever seen
