Did I ever tell you about that man who changed my life? |

Long slender fingers manicured perfectly |
| [00:43.200] |

I dunno, what would they call it |
| [00:49.912] |
Milan or Rome or someplace like that? |
| [00:53.348] |
I knew it wasn't local |
| [00:55.501] |
I said, I got to get next to that |
| [00:59.489] |
I haven't seen him in a long time |
| [01:02.926] |
My man was so fine |
