Talk about love she | B |
Says she just | C |
Wants to make | D |
Love but she talks | E |
About it almost endlessly to me | B |
- | |
It is horrible it | F |
Is the worst thing in life | G |
Says Patrizia | E |
Nothing | H |
Not death not sickness | E |
Is as bad as love | I |
- | |
I am always | E |
In love I am always | E |
Suffering from love | I |
Says Patrizia Now | J |
I am used to it | F |
But I am suffering all the same | K |
- | |
Do you know what I did to her | L |
Once speaking | H |
Of her girlfriend I kicked her out | M |
I literally kicked her she was down on the floor and I | N |
Gave her the colpi di piedi the | O |
Kicks of my foot She slided out | M |
- | |
She did this | E |
To me promised to go on a trip | P |
I am all waiting prepared | Q |
Suitcases and tickets | E |
She comes and says her other friend finds out she | B |
Can't go she guessed about it I KICKED her out | M |
- | |
Oh we are still together | L |
Sometimes But love is horrible I thought | R |
You might be the best | S |
Person to talk to Patrizia since you | A |
Love women and are a woman | T |
Yourself You may be right Patrizia | E |
- | |
Said But this woman who abandons | E |
You I think you should | U |
Disappear Though maybe with this woman | T |
Disappearing won't work | V |
I think not disappear | W |
It's too bad I don't know her | L |
- | |
If I knew her if I could see her | L |
Just for ten minutes I'm afraid | X |
If you saw her you might take | D |
Her away from me Patrizia | E |
Laughs No it hasn't happened to me | B |
Thank God to like such young women yet | Y |
- | |
Why When you are my | N |
Age still young she | B |
Is thirty nine you are close enough | Z |
To people very young to | A |
Know how horrible they are | A2 |
And you don't love them | B2 |
- | |
You don't want to have anything | H |
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 |
Go and hide there It is true | A |
Patrizia says when there is love everything | H |
Works when there isn't nothing does Love | I |
Is a god These Freudian things I don't believe at all | M2 |
- | |
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 |
- | |
I would hate her You may want to consider | L |
Patrizia said that this woman is | E |
Doing this test to you No I | N |
Said I know she's not I know something I feel | Q2 |
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 |
If you can't you can't I | N |
Can't even eat | S2 |
This food Patrizia I said | R2 |
- | |
I'm sorry I said Patrizia to be so | C2 |
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 |
