Se la sera non esci
ti prepari un panino mentre guardi la tv
anche tu?
Ti addormenti con qualcuno
che alla luce del giorno non conosci più
anche tu?
Ti telefono o no, ti telefono o no,
ho il morale in cantina
Mi telefoni o no, mi telefoni o no,
chissà chi vincerà
Poi se ti diverti
non la metti da parte un po' di felicità
anche tu?
Io vorrei sognarti, ma
ho perduto il sonno e la fantasia
anche tu!
Ti telefono o no, ti telefono o no,
io non cedo per prima
Mi telefoni o no, mi telefoni o no,
chissà chi vincerà�

Questo amore è un camera a gas
è un palazzo che brucia in città,
questo amore è una lama sottile
è una scena al rallentatore
questo amore è una bomba all'hotel
questo amore è una finta sul ring
è una fiamma che esplode nel cielo
questo amore è un gelato al veleno

Io non riesco a dirlo
è che ti vorrei soltanto un po' di più
anche tu?
Io vorrei toccarti, ma
più mi avvicino più non so chi sei
anche tu?
Ti telefono o no, ti telefono o no,
io non cedo per prima
Mi telefoni o no, mi telefoni o no,
chissà chi vincerà�
