Italian Girls - John Gorka

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

But 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&apos s delights

Espresso mornings lasagna nights

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 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

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
