Tu, quell'espressione malinconica
E quel sorriso in più
Cosa mi fai?
Stai così vicino, così immobile
Parla qualcosa, non ti ascolto mai

I maschi disegnati sui metró
Confondono le linee di Mirò
Delle vetrine, dietro ai bistrot
Ogni carezza della notte è quasi amor

I maschi innamorati dentro ai bar
Ci chiamano dai muri di città
Dalle vetrine, dietro ai juke box
Ogni carezza della notte è quasi amor

Tu, sotto la giacca cosa avrai di più
Quando fa sera
E il cuore si scatena
Mi va, sulle scale poi te lo darò
Quello che sento
Parlami ancora un po'

I maschi innamorati dentro ai bar
Ci chiamano dai muri di città
Dalle vetrine, dietro ai juke box
Ogni carezza della notte è quasi amor

Ai maschi innamorati come me
Ai maschi innamorati come te
Quali emozioni, quante bugie
Ma questa notte voglio farti le pazzie

Ai maschi innamorati come te
Ai maschi allucinati più di me
Non è mai ora a dirvi addio
Tutta la notte voglio farti ancora mio, sì

Ai maschi innamorati come te
Ai maschi innamorati come te
Quali emozioni, quante bugie
