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'll 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 now what's holding you back I know your heart can take it 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 Don't fight it'll do your heart so good 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 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 want to shake yourself There's nights you want to yell for help You can fly when you're standing still N there's nothing wrong with raising some hell Tonight we're gonna raise it Don't fight it Don't fight it 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
