Far back in time there were no other
Only one man in my world
I wanted to marry my father
I was daddy's little girl

Later I found myself a classmate
Kissing in the trees
schoolbell rang, we came too late
One morning I woke up
I felt I had grown
I had to move on on my own

I said: "Hey baby,
It's better if we let it be
I want you to know
it isn't you
yes, it is me!"

Now I'm sailing without you
I am sailing to be free
And there is nothing that's gonna take that away from me

I was charmed by Italian eyes
Love so bitter and so sweet
Your chosen and earlier well performed words
Impossible for a dumb girl to defeat

We both were only looking for a fling
Why does it hurt when I know for you
It didn't mean a thing

So now I'm sailing without you
I am sailing to be free
And there is nothing that's going to take that away from me
No, there is nothing that's going to take that away from me

I thought I could see clearly
Until the day you came around
Now I know that it is you I want
"Come on girls, help me with this sound!"

It won't be easy
You are one of those who can't forget
Oh, baby don't tease me
by saying you are not ready yet

So now I'm sailing without you
I am sailing to be free
And there is nothing that's going to take that away from me
No, there is nothing that's going to take that away from me
