Dolce Vita
Sarah Connor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, baby girl
I just wanna take you to the good life
La dolce vita

I've been watching
This relationship for a long long time
And I don't even know what to say about it, no!
This man don't love you

What's the matter, baby girl, are you blind?
And you don't have to waste no time
I'll introduce you to a beautiful life

Let me show you
Ain't no stopping
Me and you could sit on top o' the whole damn world
And we ain't gotta never come down, down, down

The temperature is dropping
And it's a damn shame that he threats you so cold
Open up your eyes take a look at your soul
It's time to go
Are you ready?

Dolce vita
Come and run away with me I can show you
Dolce vita
I just wanna see a smile back on your face baby
Dolce vita
You're never gone be happy with him and you know it
If you just say a word and we'll get away from here
Off to live the good life

Daytime number
It's the only way I get to talk to you
It's the only time you get away from the big, bad wolf, baby
And my mind wonders
Every time I think about you two
I think about what he's doing to you
How could he be so cruel to you?

Dolce vita
Come and run away with me I can show you
Dolce vita
I just wanna see a smile back on your face baby
Dolce vita
You're never gone be happy with him and you know it
If you just say a word and we'll get away from here
Off to live the good life

We can fly away
I know you gonna find somebody
Who's gonna treat you like a real lady
And who will go wherever you want him with you baby

A man who won't let not stop him
From giving you the good life
Everyday is gonna be alright
Just trust me
Let me show you

Dolce vita
Come and run away with me I can show you
Dolce vita
I just wanna see a smile back on your face baby
Dolce vita
You're never gone be happy with him and you know it




If you just say a word and we'll get away from here
Off to live the good life
