Italian Girls

Daryl Hall & John Oates

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see, I see, I see
All the monumental ruinization
I see, I see, I see
The greatest works of art in western civilization

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, but where are, tell me, where are
Ooh, but where are the Italian girls?

[Chorus]
Faccia bella, cara mia, won't you tell me?
Somebody tell me, where are the Italian girls?
Faccia bella, cara mia
Somebody tell me, where are the Italian girls?

[Verse 2]
I drink, I drink, I drink
Too much vino rosso no more amarone
I eat, I eat, I eat
So much pasta basta I'm so full and yet so lonely

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, but where are, tell me, where are
Ooh, but where are the Italian girls?
[Chorus]
Faccia bella, cara mia, won't you tell me?
Somebody tell me, where are the Italian girls?
Faccia bella, cara mia
Somebody tell me, where are the Italian girls?

[Bridge]
I see Sophia on the silver screena
There must be more like her in Roma

[Verse 3]
I believe, I believe, I believe
That she must be somewhere and I know I'm gonna find her
'Cause I need, I need, I need
Some little dream come true, please tell me where they're keeping you

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, but where are, tell me, where are
Ooh, but where are the Italian girls?

[Outro]
Faccia bella, cara mia, won't you tell me?
Somebody tell me, tell mewhere are the Italian girls?
Faccia bella, cara mia, tell me now
Won't you tell me?
Faccia bella, cara mia, somebody tell me
Where are they hiding tonight?
Faccia bella, cara mia
Somebody tell me, where are the Italian girls?
Faccia bella, cara mia, won't you tell me?
I gotta know, somebody tell me
Faccia bella, cara mia
Somebody tell me, where are the Italian girls?Embed
