It Had Better Be Tonight Lyrics by Henry Mancini
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Meglio stasera, baby, go, go, go
Or as we natives say 'Fa subito'

If you're ever gonna kiss me
It had better be tonight
While the mandolins are playing
And stars are bright

If you've anything to tell me
It had better be tonight
Or somebody else may tell me
And whisper the words just right

Meglio stasera, baby, go, go, go
Or as we natives say 'Fa subito'

For this poor Americano
Who knows little of your speech
Be a nice Italiano
And start to teach

Go ahead, show me how in old Milano
Lovers hold each other tight
But I warn you sweet paisano
It had better be tonight

Meglio stasera, baby, go, go, go
Or as we natives say 'Fa subito'
Meglio stasera, baby, go, go, go   Or as we natives say 'Fa subito'      If you're ever gonna kiss me   It had better be tonight   While the mandolins are playing   And stars are bright      If you've anything to tell me   It had better be tonight   Or somebody else may tell me   And whisper the words just right      Meglio stasera, baby, go, go, go   Or as we natives say 'Fa subito'      For this poor Americano   Who knows little of your speech   Be a nice Italiano   And start to teach      Go ahead, show me how in old Milano   Lovers hold each other tight   But I warn you sweet paisano   It had better be tonight      Meglio stasera, baby, go, go, go   Or as we natives say 'Fa subito'
