It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)

Michael Buble · Collection

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
