It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)

Meglio stasera, baby, go go go

Or as we natives say, fa subito



If you're ever gonna kiss me

It had better be tonight

While the mandolins are playing

And stars are bright



If you've anything to tell me

It had better be tonight

Or somebody else may tell me

Whisper the words just right



Meglio stasera, baby, go go go

Or as we natives say, fa subito



If you're ever gonna hold me

It had better be tonight

Or somebody else may hold me

They might make me feel just right



Meglio stasera, baby, go go go

Or as we natives say, fa subito



For this poor americano

Who knows little of your speech

Be a nice italiana

And start to teach



Show me how in old milano

Lovers hold each other oh so tight

But I warn you sweet paisana

And it had better be tonight



Meglio stasera, baby, go go go

Or as we natives say, fa subito
