Anna Oxa Lyrics

(L.Chiaravalli - G. Fulcheri)
Io non seguo mai le mode
assomiglio solo a me
e il mio angelo custode
non mi serve che sia un re
in non cerco mai la sfida
e giudizi non ne do
ma se offendi la mia vita

giuro non perdonerò
ma se tu sai mostrarti come sei
veramente
allora su di me potrai contare
io sarò con te
e tu non mi perderai
tu non mi perderai mai
vedrai che io sarò
io sarò con te
e io non ti tradirei
in non ti tradirei mai
vedrai che io sarò
io sarò con te...io sarò con te...
odio queste ipocrisie
di chi nega la realtà
e si finge poi un eroe
che difetti non ne ha
ma se tu sai mostrarti come sei
veramente
allora su di me potrai contare
io sarò con te
e tu non mi perderai
tu non mi perderai mai
vedrai che io sarò
io sarò con te
e io non ti tradirei
in non ti tradirei mai

vedrai che io sarò
io sarò con te...io sarò con te...
