If you're ever gonna kiss me
It had better be tonight
While the mandolins are playing
And stars are bright
If you've anything to tell me
It had better be tonight
Or somebody else may tell me
Whisper the words just right
Meglio stasera, baby, go go go
Or as we natives say, fa subito
If you're ever gonna hold me
It had better be tonight
Or somebody else may hold me
They might make me feel just right
Meglio stasera, baby, go go go
Or as we natives say, fa subito
For this poor americano
Who knows little of your speech
Be a nice italiana
And start to teach
Show me how in old milano
Lovers hold each other oh so tight
But I warn you sweet paisana
And it had better be tonight
Meglio stasera, baby, go go go
Or as we natives say, fa subito
It had better be tonight
While the mandolins are playing
And stars are bright
If you've anything to tell me
It had better be tonight
Or somebody else may tell me
Whisper the words just right
Meglio stasera, baby, go go go
Or as we natives say, fa subito
If you're ever gonna hold me
It had better be tonight
Or somebody else may hold me
They might make me feel just right
Meglio stasera, baby, go go go
Or as we natives say, fa subito
For this poor americano
Who knows little of your speech
Be a nice italiana
And start to teach
Show me how in old milano
Lovers hold each other oh so tight
But I warn you sweet paisana
And it had better be tonight
Meglio stasera, baby, go go go
Or as we natives say, fa subito
