Prego Amore - Erlend Øye

I was looking for a woman to be good to me

I was with the other people and they had to eat

I couldn’t go alone, I didn’t know my way

Don’t know the language, so I had to stay

Woke up in the morning with a job to do

Twenty seconds later got stuck in the queue

When in Rome they’re digging to extend the lines

They’re running into ruins, gotta stop all the time

Went upon a hill to get a view of the town

Didn’t really happen 'cause the clouds were down

Brought a CD player to be checking our song

Didn’t do recordables we moved along

To an elevated garden overlooking the street

She was standing with a spinett at the side of her feet

Shouted to her promising to make her a star

She didn’t have the time and she left in a car

Prego amore vieni con me

Waiting for a DJ, but he never turned up

Figured that he didn’t 'cause he knew he would suck

I was sitting in the rhythm backing the beat

Couldn’t see her dancing back on the street

Just because you got the magic happening then

Doesn’t make it certain it’ll happen again

Just because you know someone is looking for you

Doesn’t have a say in who they’re running into
