| To do with them Oh | C2 |
| Uh huh I said putting | H |
| My hands down on the table and then off | D2 |
| Look at you excuse me but I have to laugh | E2 |
| At you sitting in this horrible | F2 |
| - | |
| Restaurant at one o'clock | G2 |
| In the morning in a | O |
| City you don't want to be | B |
| In and why For this woman | T |
| It is horrible I know but | H2 |
| Also funny | B |
| - | |
| I know I said Listen I have | I2 |
| An idea Do you know her address You know where | J2 |
| She lives You should go there | J2 |
| Go and hide there | J2 |
| Outside her house | E |
| In the bushes | E |
| - | |
| Then when she comes out | M |
| You jump out | M |
| You confront her You will see | B |
| If there is love | I |
| In her eyes or not It can't | K2 |
| Be hidden You will know It can't be mistaken | T |
| - | |
| This works This has always worked | L2 |
| For me It won't work for me I can't | K2 |

| - | |
| This god you have to do what | H2 |
| He wants you to you are | A2 |
| Angry but all you really want | N2 |
| Is to get her back Then revenge If | O2 |
| This woman did something like this to me | B |
| I would simply dislike her in fact | P2 |

| Patrizia said that this woman is | E |
| Doing this test to you No I | N |

| A hundred years old Yet | Y |
| You don't look so bad Patrizia said | R2 |
| - | |
| Find another woman I can't I | N |
| Know Patrizia said But one always thinks it | F |
| Is a good idea But | H2 |

| Boring I can't stop talking Forgive | T2 |
| Me It doesn't bore me at all | M2 |
| Patrizia says It's my favorite subject | U2 |
| It isn't every day one sees somebody | B |
| In such a state you can help him by talking to stay alive | V2 |
| - | |
| You know Patrizia says if she | B |
| Does this thing to you now | J |
| She will do it again | W2 |
| And again so you'd better be ready | B |
| Maybe you can get the advantage | X2 |
| By saying she is right you | A |
| - | |
| Don't love her Good bye You leave | Y2 |
| However if you want her | L |
| You should go into the bushes | E |
| And surprise her when they see you | A |
| It always makes a difference | E |
| I can't go hide there Patrizia | E |
| - | |
| That's insane I went but not | Z2 |
| Hiding and not confronting | H |
| Patrizia What did she say I said | R2 |
| The same things Patrizia said | R2 |
| Did you see love in her eyes I said | R2 |
| No I didn't I saw | E |
| - | |
| Something else In Florence it's rainy | B |
| Her relatively short hair and | A3 |
| Her eyes along the Arno | C2 |
| The last time I'll ever see her again | W2 |
| As the one I am seeing again | W2 |
| When seeing again still has some meaning | H |
| - | |
| It's finished Patrizia's saying | H |
| For now but don't worry | B |
| I think you will get her back | B3 |
| But it will be too late Oh Patrizia I | N |
| Let my back and head fall against | C3 |
| The chair Late isn't anything | H |
