Prego Amore

Erlend Oye

I was looking for a woman to be good to me
I was with the other people and they had to eat
I couldn't go alone, I didn't know my way
Don't know the language, so I had to stay
Woke up in the morning with a job to do
Twenty seconds later got stuck in the queue
When in Rome they're digging to extend the lines,
They're running into ruins, gotta stop all the time
Went upon a hill to get a view of the town,
Didn't really happen 'cause the clouds were down
Brought a CD player to be checking our song,
Didn't do recordables we moved along
To an elevated garden overlooking the street
She was standing with a spinett at the side of her feet.
Shouted to her promising to make her a star
She didn't have the time and she left in a car

Prego amore vieni con me.

Waiting for a DJ, but he never turned up
Figured that he didn't 'cause he knew he would suck
I was sitting in the rhythm backing the beat
Couldn't see her dancing back on the street
Just because you got the magic happening then
Doesn't make it certain it'll happen again
Just because you know someone is looking for you
Doesn't have a say in who they're running into
