Robert de Niro's waiting
talking italian.
I don't need a boy
I've a got a man of steel


Actually this not a very happy song, because it's about rape.

I saw a documentary on the band a couple of years ago in which they told a cute story: All three Nana's shared a council flat in London (Apartment block in the projects, US reader ). After the song was a hit they received a home visit from Bobby whilst he was visiting London and they were dumbstruck that he was actually there in their home. He stayed for a while, had a cup of tea & posed for photographs.

The song tells the tale of a girl that is raped while walking on a park! Instead of Barbados (like Tori sings on "Me and a Gun"), the raped girls think of Robert De Niro while being raped!

Originally the chorus was Al Pacino, but the girls changed it to Robert De Niro, because the song flowed better.

here r the lyrics:

Hopes dashed to the floor like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door are never what they seem, oooh
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 a wall

Robert De Niro's waiting, Talking Italian
Robert De Niro's waiting, Talk-ing 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, oooh
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

Robert De Niro's waiting, Talking Italian
Robert De Niro's waiting, Talk-ing Italian
Robert De Niro's waiting, Talking Italian (Talking Italian)
Robert De Niro's waiting
Talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk, talk-ing, oooh
Talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk-talk, talk-ing

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 a wall

Robert De Niro's waiting, Talking Italian (Talking Italian)
Robert De Niro's waiting, Talk-ing Italian (tor-or-alk)
Robert De Niro's waiting, Talking Italian (Talking Italian)
Robert De Niro's waiting, Talk-ing Italian (tor-or-alk)
Talking Italian (Talking Italian)
Talking Italian (fade)
