Come un serpente
Gino Paoli Lyrics

Come un serpente
T'incanterei
Se io potessi
T'incanterei
Ti inietterei l'amore
E t'avvelenerei

Come un serpente
Ti stringerei
Se io potessi

Ti stringerei
Tra le mie braccia chiuse
Io ti stritolerei

Sarà poi questo il modo
Per farti prigioniera, averti mia
Se tu mi fissi a lungo
Io posso catturarti e averti mia

Ma a questo gioco
Tu non ci stai
Mi guardi e ridi
E sono guai
Perché sei tu il serpente
La vittima sono io

Ma a questo gioco
Tu non ci stai
Mi guardi e ridi
E sono guai
Perché sei tu il serpente
La vittima sono io
Perché sei tu il serpente
La vittima sono io
