Il Pretesto
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Non voglio un pretesto per pietà
Sai che io detesto falsità
Sii un po' più onesto quando vuoi
Finirla fra di noi
Non restar perplesso ad inventar
Scuse che del resto non van mai
Oltre ad un modesto rendez-vous
A cui non vieni più
Io so bene che i castelli di carta
Con un soffio van giù
Non ne hai colpa tu
Non voglio un pretesto per pietà
Sai che io detesto falsità
Dammi il fazzoletto quando vuoi
Finirla fra di noi
Finirla fra di noi
Non voglio un pretesto per pietà
Sai che io detesto falsità
Dammi il fazzoletto quando vuoi
Finirla fra di noi
Finirla fra di noi
