<span class="cssGlobalSysText_LightGray">i am a master of contradiction  
ready to jolt any time  
but craving a kiss  
of a man without cause. </span>

i love those around me  
as i love myself  
which i learned  
it took learning.

on a day like this  
my soul dances  
with the soul of the sun  
with that of the baby that cries.

coming from italy  
the reds are redder  
the blues bluer  
and life always a hoot.

give me a smile  
or i’ll steal it from you  
and leave you with more  
where that came from.

let’s go out for the weekend  
let’s worship the light  
let’s bristle with passion  
come back to the kiss.

i see you smiling  
when you see me smiling  
love needs no more.
