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
And 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 fell 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 paesana
That it had better be tonight

Meglio stasera
Baby go go go
Or as we natives say
Fa' subito!
