WHAT GIVES? WHAT GOES?
(Gus Kahn / Jule Styne)


Jane Powell - 1957


What gives, what goes, what's gonna be
What's on the fire for you and me
I don't like the kind of game you play, dear
First you chase me, then you run away, dear

What gives, what goes, for heaven's sake
This heart of mine is yours to take
It's time I knew just where I stand
And you're the only one who knows
What's what, what gives, what goes

(Instrumental Break)

What gives, what goes, what's gonna be
What's on the fire for you and me
I don't like the kind of game you play, dear
First you chase me, then you run away, dear

What gives, what goes, for heaven's sake
This heart of mine is yours to take
It's time I knew just where I stand
And you're the only one who knows
What's what, what gives, what goes
