Amici Mai

You hold my hand and say
Friends like before
But what are you saying
Friends we
We were never
In love yes
Maybe lovers yes
A smile a word
To keep going
There were none between us
Nor will there ever be
Yet you loved me
Yet I loved you.

You caressed me and asked me
Tell me, love, who are you
What do you want me to say
Why do you ask if you already know
But you didn't trust me
With women you never know
And you expected me to confide in you
Without you I never did...
I swear never.

Now you hold my hand and say
Friends like before
But what are you saying
Friends we
We were never
In love yes
Maybe lovers yes...
Yet you loved me
Yet I loved you.

You caressed me and asked me
Tell me, love, who are you
What do you want me to say
Why do you ask if you already know
But you didn't trust me
With women you never know
And you expected me to confide in you
Without you I never did... never... never...
I swear never.

You hold my hand and say
Friends like before
But what are you saying
Friends we
We were never
In love yes
Maybe lovers yes...
Friends... never.
