Arrivederci Girl

ARRIVEDERCI GIRL
© Jim Molinelli

[Verse 1]
We're not 'just friends', this ain't Let's Make a Deal.
With one foot by the door, was anything real?
You came along for the ride, it just felt like a truce.
Didn't build nothin’ up, and you never cut loose...

[CHORUS]
I gave you my heart.
Right from the start.
It felt counterfeit,
When you wouldn't commit...
It's true.

I can't take it no more,
So head for the door.
Arrivederci girl.
Get out of my world...
We're through.

[Verse 2]
You never said "we," you never once said "us".
Some plans got delayed, some you wouldn’t discuss.
I would bring up our future, you’d just turn and pout,
You weren't all the way in–-but now you're ALL THE WAY OUT!

[CHORUS]
I gave you my heart.
Right from the start.
It felt counterfeit,
When you wouldn't commit...
It's true.

I can't take it no more,
So head for the door.
Arrivederci girl.
Get out of my world...
We're through.

[Bridge]
Let the echoes fade and the curtains close
No more rehearsals, no more shows.
Arrivederci girl, this is the end.
No need to pretend.

[CHORUS]
I gave you my heart.
Right from the start.
It felt counterfeit,
When you wouldn't commit...
It's true.

I can't take it no more,
So head for the door.
Arrivederci girl.
Get out of my world...
We're through.
