Lyrics

This ain’t the way I spend my mornings baby

Come stai? (how are you?)

You’ve been with him,

And now you come back my lady

What’s he like?

I just sit, and watch the ocean

By myself, even doing my own cooking

You can laugh, you’re forgiven, but

I’m no longer frightened, to be living

Senza una donna

No more pain and no sorrow

Senza una donna

I’ll make it through tomorrow

Senza una donna

Giving me torture and bliss

Without a woman, ah, better like this

There is no way,

That you can buy me baby

Don’t make fun

You got to dig a little deeper lady

In the heart?

Yeah, if you have one

Here’s my heart, feel the power

Look at me, I’m a flower

You can laugh, you’re forgiven, but

I’m no longer frightened, to be living, yeah

Senza una donna

No more pain and no sorrow

Senza una donna

I’ll make it through tomorrow

Senza una donna

Giving my torture and bliss

Oooh, Oooh…

I stay here and, watch the ocean

Don’t know why, don’t know why, I keep on talking

You may laugh, you’re forgiven, but

I’m no longer frightened (maybe)

To be living

Senza una donna

No more pain and no sorrow

Senza una donna

I’ll make it through tomorrow

Senza una donna

Giving me torture and bliss

Without a woman, Vieni qui! Come on in

Senza una donna

I don’t know what might follow

Senza una donna

Oh maybe from tomorrow!

Senza una donna

Giving me torture and bliss
