DO YOU LOVE ME LIKE YOU KISS ME ?
(Ferdinand Albano / Pacifico Vento / Al Hoffman / Dick Manning)

as recorded by Connie Francis
with orchestra conducted by Tony Osborne
1959


Tell me your love is true, like I love you!

Too many times romantic words are spoken,
Too many words of love are said in vain!
Too many times a foolish heart is broken
And left with just a memory for a token!
How do I know that you Won't hurt me too?

Do you love me the way you kiss me,
'Cause you kiss me like you love it?
Do you mean everything you say
And do you say everything you mean?

Do you love me the way you hold me,
'Cause you hold me like you love me?
Is it only a lovely dream
Or can I dream of a wedding day?

Comme te ll'aggia di ca nun e cosa?
Chella nun e pe'te... chella e na 'mpesa!
Chella vene a di ch'e bella cchiu 'e na rosa.
Si po'te veco e chiagnere annascuso?
Lassala, siente a me, ca nun e cosa!

Tu, pa bionda, si' troppo onesto:
Chella e fatta pe' ll'ommo 'nzisto...
Alluntanate 'a 'sta "maesta"
Ca te pierde, figlio 'e mamma...
Nun 'o vvide ca te repassa?
Te ciancea cu ciento mosse...
To ffa credere e po'te lassa:
Te fa perdere 'a liberta!

Do you love me the way you hold me,
'Cause you hold me like you love me?
Is it only a lovely dream
Or can I dream of a wedding day?
