Voglia di te
Nek Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inavvertitamente sciovoliamo giù
Non ci son regole, c'è inventiva in più
E quel tuo darti senza mai pensarci su
È micidiale
Irrazionale
Il tiro che mi hai dato tu

Ti voglio e poi ti rivogli

Ma resto goloso di te
Ti voglio da quando mi sveglio
Se il pasto che voglio per me
Fa' presto perché non resisto
Mi serve una dose di te
Ah ah eh

E se ci prende di stare tutta la notte su
Tra gambe e cuore cos'è migliore non lo capisco più
Poi la tua bocca, stacca, I freni agli istinti miei
Non darmi istanti
Né sguardi assenti
Ma tutti I momenti che hai

Ti voglio e poi ti rivogli
Ma resto goloso di te
Ti voglio da quando mi sveglio
Se il pasto che voglio per me
Fa' presto perché non resisto
Mi serve una dose di te
Fa' presto perché non esisto
È questo il rischio che c'è

Non rinuncio a questa storia qua
Alle sensazioni che mi dà
È come se avessi un diavolo nell'anima
Non passa mai
L'attrazione che c'è in noi

Ti voglio e poi ti rivogli
Ma resto goloso di te
Ti voglio da quando mi sveglio
Se il pasto che voglio per me
Fa' presto perché non resisto
Mi serve una dose di te

Fa' presto perché non esisto
Mi serve una dose di te
