Hopes dashed to the floor Like shattered teenage dreams Boys living next door Are never what they seem (bridge 1) A walk in the park can become a bad dream People are staring and following me This is my only escape from it all Watching a film or a face on the wall (chorus) Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian (Talking Italian) Robert De Niro's waiting I don't need a boy I've got a man of steel Don't come any closer I don't wanna feel (bridge 2) Your breathing, your touching, but nothing's for free I never want this to happen to me Don't try to change me you're wasting your time Now I've got something much better in mind (chorus) (bridge 1) (chorus ad lib)
