Italian Girls
I used to fall for Italian girls
They filled my dreams, they made my world
If I had moved less awkwardly
They might have had their way with me
The longer names, the darker hair
They made me weak, they made me stare
I couldn't say a word to them
Their figures so full of vitamins
I wasn't cool, I wasn't bad
I was the only one I ever had
And they posessed the world's delights
Espresso mornings, lasagna nights
(Chorus)
Oh, the Italian girls
The Italian girls
They made my world
They were strong and they were proud
Some were sweet and some were loud
They'd fill me up with what they'd cook
And put me down with just one look
I followed them through summertime
I made them laugh, I made them rhymes
But they left me there for other ones
Who had the dough when day was done
Just one thing keep me free
They were not in love with me
Now they've married and gained some weight
But that weight I appreciate
For it's the work of all those meals
And what you eat is what you feel
(Chorus)
For the Italian girls
The Italian girls
They made my world
I used to fall for Italian girls
They filled my dreams, they made my world
But passion dies and fades away
Or lives to fight another day
Chicas italianas
Solía enamorarme de chicas italianas
Ellas llenaban mis sueños, hacían mi mundo
Si me hubiera movido menos torpemente
Ellas podrían haber tenido su camino conmigo
Los nombres largos, el cabello más oscuro
Me debilitaban, me hacían mirar fijamente
No podía decirles una palabra
Sus figuras tan llenas de vitaminas
No era cool, no era malo
Yo era el único que alguna vez tuve
Y ellas poseían los placeres del mundo
Mañanas de espresso, noches de lasaña
(Coro)
Oh, las chicas italianas
Las chicas italianas
Ellas hicieron mi mundo
Eran fuertes y orgullosas
Algunas eran dulces y otras ruidosas
Me llenaban con lo que cocinaban
Y me derribaban con solo una mirada
Las seguí durante el verano
Las hacía reír, les hacía rimas
Pero me dejaron por otros
Que tenían el dinero cuando el día terminaba
Solo una cosa me mantenía libre
Ellas no estaban enamoradas de mí
Ahora se han casado y han ganado peso
Pero ese peso lo aprecio
Porque es el resultado de todas esas comidas
Y eres lo que comes
(Coro)
Por las chicas italianas
Las chicas italianas
Ellas hicieron mi mundo
Solía enamorarme de chicas italianas
Ellas llenaban mis sueños, hacían mi mundo
Pero la pasión muere y se desvanece
O vive para luchar otro día
