Be Italian Lyrics
[Intro]
So, you little Italian devils
You want to know about love?
Saraghina will tell you
If you want to make a woman happy
You rely on what you're born with
Because it is in your blood
[Verse 1]
Be Italian
Be Italian
Take a chance and try to steal a fiery kiss
Be Italian
Be Italian
When you hold me, don't just hold me, but hold this
[Verse 2]
Please be gentle, sentimental
Go ahead and try to give my cheek a pat
But be daring and uncaring
When you pinch me try to pinch me where there's fat
Ha
Be a singer (Be a singer)
Be a lover (Be a lover)
Pick the flower now before the chance is past (Before it's past)
Be Italian (Be Italian)
Be Italian (Be Italian)
Live today as if it may become your last
So, you little Italian devils
You want to know about love?
Saraghina will tell you
If you want to make a woman happy
You rely on what you're born with
Because it is in your blood
[Verse 1]
Be Italian
Be Italian
Take a chance and try to steal a fiery kiss
Be Italian
Be Italian
When you hold me, don't just hold me, but hold this
[Verse 2]
Please be gentle, sentimental
Go ahead and try to give my cheek a pat
But be daring and uncaring
When you pinch me try to pinch me where there's fat
Ha
Be a singer (Be a singer)
Be a lover (Be a lover)
Pick the flower now before the chance is past (Before it's past)
Be Italian (Be Italian)
Be Italian (Be Italian)
Live today as if it may become your last
[Break]
Hey
[Verse 3]
Be a singer (Be a singer)
Be a lover (Be a lover)
Pick the flower now before the chance is past (Before it's past)
Be Italian (Be Italian)
Be Italian (Be Italian)
Live today as if it may become your last
Hey
[Verse 3]
Be a singer (Be a singer)
Be a lover (Be a lover)
Pick the flower now before the chance is past (Before it's past)
Be Italian (Be Italian)
Be Italian (Be Italian)
Live today as if it may become your last
