Averti Addosso
Gino Paoli
Having You On Me
If I can't say what I feel inside
Like a blind man, like a deaf one
If I can't do what must be done
Like a monkey, like a cat
If I can't love as one should love
Like a child, like a fool
If I can't give like an empty pocket
Like a problem already solved
Having you on me
Like a shirt, like a coat
Like a full pocket, like a button
Like a dead leaf, like a regret
Having you on me
Like my hands, like a color
Like my voice, my tiredness
Like a new joy, like a gift
And if my heart
Wants to be a mouth that seeks you and swallows you
So, so I carry your life inside me
This never-ending song
Having you on me
Like a shirt, like a coat
Like a full pocket, like a button
Like a dead leaf, like a regret
Having you on me
Like my hands, like a color
Like my voice, my tiredness
Like a new joy, like a gift
Having you on me
Like my Indian summer
Like a new wrinkle, like a smile
Like a false clue, like a guilt
Having you on me
Like a sunny day in mid-May
That warms your skin and melts your heart
And gives you the strength to start over
Having you on me
Having you together
Staying together, loving you
Having you on me
Having you together
Staying together, loving you
