DAMME 'NA MANO

I don't suffer for you
I can't play the part
I'm ready to mess up
Like a man of honor
I put out the cigarette
Like our story
Every night is forever
On the streets of Rome

And don't act dumb tonight
You're never really sincere
You're dangerous
I know you'll bite the apple
But what would Califano say about us
That it lasted way too short
I walk on the cobblestones
Until I find you

Give me a hand
'Cause my heart's heavy
Just one woman and one song
Doesn't mean a thing
If the world falls apart
I only remember you
Give me a hand
Or I’ll die

Give me a hand
'Cause my heart's heavy
Only you

You and me for all our lives
I swear I’m crossing my fingers
I'm the classic Italian man
I only love my mother Annarita
On Sundays I leave you alone
You want to go out for dinner but there’s a game
You wait for me in bed, all nervous
You barely talk, act all strange
Then you touch me, you don’t give a damn
Go lower, my eyes are spinning
Then you look at me, take off your heels
While you tie up your hair

You like to mess up, hurt me
You raise your hands
Then you want to apologize
And I know I’ll lose this game
Like in cards, you’re good at cheating

Give me a hand
'Cause my heart's heavy
Just one woman
And one song
Doesn't mean a thing
If the world falls apart
I only remember you
Give me a hand
Or I’ll die

Give me a hand
'Cause my heart's heavy
Only you

I’ve suffered for you
Now I can play the part
How many times have I messed up
Like a man of honor
I light up a cigarette
Thinking about our story
While I watch the night
On the streets of Rome
