Italians Do It Better
Alesha Dixon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking you could be my Romeo tonight
I bet you wanna taste it
I got what you've been looking for
Come with me, alright
Let's get creative
Think of all the things we'd like to do and say
Body close to body till harmony
They say Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
Slow down, I think I love this baby
Throw down, don't keep me waiting
All night I know you want this baby
Playing around, hear what I'm saying
They say Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
I guess every part of me says yes
And baby I don't ever want regrets, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
'Cause lipstick's all about the kissing
Baby feel this, ain't got time for hugging
Come and take it, want you more than ever
Make me feel alive, feel the vibe
Italians do it better, Italians do it better
They say Italians do it better
You proved them wrong, you do it better
Because everything I want I get
And baby, baby, yeah, you're next, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
I guess every part of me says yes
And baby I don't ever want regrets, you bet
Everything I want I get
Tell me if you can handle it
Oh, oh, I'm a girl who can't say no
When it's you who says let's go
Keep the smile upon my face
Don't let it go because it feels good
Oh, oh, I'm a girl who can't say no
When it's you who says let's go
In the opening verse of Alesha Dixon's "Italians Do It Better," the singer invites a man to engage in a playful game of seduction, suggesting that he could be her Romeo for the night. She confidently assures him that she possesses the qualities he has been searching for, and invites him to get creative with her. In the chorus, Dixon asserts that Italians do everything better, but then declares that the man she is with has proven that belief false, and that he does it better than anyone else. She boasts that she always gets what she wants, and challenges him to prove that he can handle everything she desires.
The second verse indicates that Dixon has become enamored with the man she is with, describing her feelings as though she is in a state of euphoria. She playfully urges him to slow down and not keep her waiting, indicating a sense of urgency to their encounter. In the bridge, Dixon expresses her desire for passion and pleasure, emphasizing that she does not want just a friendly hug, but rather a more intimate experience. She declares that she wants to feel alive and enveloped in the moment. The song is ultimately about a woman reveling in her own sexual liberation, unashamedly enjoying herself with a partner who makes her feel desired and empowered.

When it's you who says let's go
Particularly when it's you who suggests we do something
Keep the smile upon my face
Make me happy
Don't let it go because it feels good
Don't end it because it's pleasurable
