Botella tras botella ando tomando
Pa’ olvidarme de ella (pa’ olvidarme de ella)
De ella, de ella nomás hablo
En todas mis pedas (en todas mis pedas)
A mis compas bien hartos traigo ya (jajai)
Me dicen: “güey, ya la tienes que superar”
Pero yo no puedo (yo no puedo)
Pa’ ser sinceros, yo ni quiero
Mejor su recuerdo me lo bebo
Los tragos me saben mejor así
Estaba pensando en llamarte, yo te miro por todas partes
Pero ya no nos vemos, puede que lo olvidemos
Dos tragos y vuelvo a pensarte
Me aferro, no quiero olvidarte
Sentimientos ajenos, los celos no son buenos
Y si me llamas contesto, aunque nunca va a pasar eso
(Aunque nunca va a pasar eso)
Ya mejor ni te molesto, porque sé que vuelvo a joderlo
(Ahuevo que vuelvo a joderlo)
Y ahora que ando tomando bebida
Me siento triste, ya va a amanecer
A veces borracho las penan se olvidan
Pero nunca te dejé de querer
Fui mal partido, querida
Todas mis pedas marcándote al cel
Le puse sal a la herida
Cómo quisiera volver al ayer
Sentimental yo me pongo, siempre me acuerdo de ti
(Yo siempre me acuerdo de ti)
Me agarra la depre seguido y hasta te escribí un CD
(Y hasta te escribí un CD)
Botella tras botella voy a tomarme
Pa’ acordarme de ella (pa’ acordarme de ella)
De ella, de ella estoy hablando
Como siempre en mis pedas (como siempre en mis pedas)
A mis compas bien hartos traigo ya (jajai)
Me dicen: “güey, ya la tienes que superar”
Pero yo no puedo (yo no puedo)
Pa’ ser sinceros, yo ni quiero
Mejor su recuerdo me lo bebo
Los tragos me saben mejor así
Estaba pensando en llamarte yo
Estaba pensando en llamarte yo
Pero ya no nos vemos
Pero ya no nos vemos
Sentimental yo me pongo, siempre me acuerdo de ti
(Yo siempre me acuerdo de ti)
Me agarra la depre seguido y hasta te escribí un CD
(Y hasta te escribí un CD)
Y si amas a alguien, no la dejes ir
Para que no tengas que dedicarle una canción como esta
Paz
