Lyrics

Ah, perche, perche la mia costanza
Vuoi scemar con molli affetti
Piu lusinghe, ah, piu speranza
Presso a morte un cor non ha
[Ah! Why do you want to weaken
my steadfastness with sweet affection?
A heart near death has no illusions, no more hope!]

You, are candle light under moon,
Tonight could not come soon enough,
He's waiting under the moon for love,
And you wanna see she's game

She's ready to believe again,
She's gonna wager the ring and the friend,
She can't see the forest for the trees,
And you best believe she's ready to leave but...

She's her friend but he's getting closer,
He'll never tell and none will be the wiser.
She paints on black and paints on love.
When the rush is up,
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough

Something's wrong and he just don't get it,
Something's wrong and she won't regret it,
It's one plus one plus one...
Something's up and she's out to get it,
Something's down and he's left to sweat it,
It's one plus one plus one...

Ah, perche, la mia costanza
Vuoi scemar con molli affetti
Piu lusinghe, ah, piu speranza
Presso a morte, presso a morte un cor non ha
Un cor non ha
[Ah! Why do you want to weaken
my steadfastness with sweet affection?
A heart near death has no illusions, no more hope!]

Don't get in that car girl,
You don't know what you're losing,
Don't get in that car boy,
You don't know what your doing.
You wanna play tough and you wanna save face,
You wanna reach out and
You need some grace
You need some grace
But it's too damn late...

Something's wrong he can't forget it,
Something's wrong and she won't regret it,
It's one plus one plus one...
Something's up and she's out to get it,
Something's down and you're left to sweat it,
It's one plus one plus one...
It's one plus one plus one...

Ah, perche, la mia costanza
Vuoi scemar con molli affetti
Piu lusinghe, ah, piu speranza
Presso a morte, presso a morte un cor non ha
[Ah! Why do you want to weaken
my steadfastness with sweet affection?
A heart near death has no illusions, no more hope!]

Ah, perche, la mia costanza
