Don’t Fight It Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kenny Loggins & Steve Perry]
Live long enough, you're bound to find
Moonshine'll make a man go blind
Never can tell what the brew will do
But there's times you wind up feelin' so fine
Some women seem to have a knack
They'll turn you on and leave you flat
Never can tell who's playin' for keeps
So tell me what's holding you back
I know your heart can take it

[Chorus: Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Both]
Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it
It'll do your heart so good
Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it
It'll do your heart so good
Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it
It'll only do you good

[Verse 2: Kenny Loggins & Steve Perry]
Some people when they hear a groove
Shake their heads 'cause they just can't approve
Well, I turn up the music till it's shakin' the sky
Is everybody ready to move?
There's times you wanna shake yourself
There's nights you wanna yell for help
You can fly when you're standin' still
There's nothin' wrong with raising some hell
Tonight we're gonna raise it
[Chorus: Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Both]
Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it
It'll do your heart so good
Don't fight it, don't fight it (aha), don't fight it
It'll do your heart so good
Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it
It'll do your heart so

[Bridge: Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Both]
Do what mama do
Do what daddy do
When you gonna make up your mind?
You can run but love will find you
Ready or not here it comes

[Guitar solo]

[Alternate Chorus: Kenny Loggins & Steve Perry]
Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it
Don't fight it, don't fight it

[Chorus: Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Both]
Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it
It'll do your heart so good
Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it (so good, so good)
Ohhhhh, don't fight it, don't fight
(Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it)
It'll only do you good, it'll only do you good
(Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it)
Don't fight it, don't fight
It'll do your heart so good, don't fight it
(Don't fight it, don't fight it, don't fight it)
Don't fight it, don't fight it, whoo!
