I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss the devil has known
Time and time again... I said I'd leave you
Time and time again... I went away
But then would come a time... when I would need you
Ma poi arriverebbe un momento... in cui avrei bisogno di te
And once again... these words I'd have to say
E ancora una volta... queste parole dovrei dire
Take me back, I love you,
Portami indietro, ti amo,
Pity me, I need you
Abbi pietà di me, ho bisogno di te
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
Lo so che è sbagliato, deve essere sbagliato
But right or wrong I can't get along... without you
Ma giusto o sbagliato non riesco a farne a meno... senza di te
