Lyrics[]
[Spoken Intro]
That's right, when you feel it was sadness, you look around but you see all that badness.
Well, look at me babe, I'm not a child anymore, and I can give you what you're searching for.
[Verse 1]
I'd like to know what you're thinking
You have to let your worries go
I know that you feel you're sinking
But you never really let it show
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Open your eyes and look around you
see that love is waiting there
Just tell me yes and I will astound you
Love is the best when it's unprepared
[Chorus 1]
Donna, Donna oh baby
Take me in your arms and see
Donna, tua Donna I'll give you fantasy
Donna, Donna I'm not the girl you think you always knew
Donna tua Donna 'cause I'm in love with you
[Verse 2]
I'll take you from your world of tears
I'll help you leave the past behind
Being with me there are no fears
I'm a woman now so don't be shy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Way hang around there's nothing for tomorrow
Come with me and we can fly away
Who wants a life full of pain and sorrow
I can kiss away all your blues today
[Chorus 2]
Donna, Donna oh baby
Just take me in your arms and see
Donna, tua Donna I'll give you fantasy
Donna, tua Donna I'm not the girl you think you always knew
Donna tua Donna 'cause I'm in love with you
