Lyrics

Robert De Niro's Waiting...

[Verse 1]

Hopes dashed to the floor

Like shattered teenage dreams

Boys living next door

Are never what they seem (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

A walk in the park can become a bad dream

People are staring and following me

This is my only escape from it all

Watching a film or a face on a wall

[Chorus]

Robert De Niro's waiting

Talking Italian

Robert De Niro's waiting

Talking Italian

Robert De Niro's waiting

Talking Italian (Talking Italian)

Robert De Niro's waiting

[Verse 2]

I don't need a boy

I've got a man of steel

Don't come any closer

I don't wanna feel (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]

You're breathing, you're touching

But nothing's for free

I never want this to happen to me

Don't try to change me, you're wasting your time

Now I've got something much better in mind

[Chorus]

Robert De Niro's waiting

Talking Italian

[Bridge]

Talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk

Talking (Ooh)

Talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk

Talking

[Pre-Chorus]

A walk in the park can become a bad dream

People are staring and following me

This is my only escape from it all

Watching a film or a face on a wall

[Chorus]
