Hello everybody,
I'm Andrea from Italy
First I have to thank all those who have posted lyrics form NLOTH
I'm trying to translate them in Italian but I can't exactly understand a line from Crazy Tonight.
It's:

Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit

Can you help me?
Thank you very much
Ciao!
Andrea
 
I speak English quite well but I'm not sure what that means, so I'd like to have an explanation/interpretation as well, thanks. :)

Sweet tooth, I suppose, is a term for someone who likes to eat sweet things?
 
Yeah, it's someone who just can't get enough of snacks, so, it's saying that it's giving into the wanting a sweet snack pretty much.
 
Thank you!
But... I can't get it right yet

and the "little hit"?

So may be something like that?

Every desire of sweet snacks needs a little push (to be satisfied)

Ciao
Andrea
 
a sweet-tooth is just liking sweet things

"a little hit" can be interpreted as a "hit" (like a drug for example), a little dose of sugar, a sugar hit, to satisfy a craving for something sweet
