Ey
In the water, if the scent of your perfume remains,
you are a beauty, I am a beauty
and that is what does not unite
She knows she’s good
and she doesn’t presume
she was your cat
Upload a photo in the coming days and the moon (So)
Pa’ that I’m in the world see
Lo rich that you are’, that you are’
With you, I have to tighten
On the street, I’m going down,
but for you, I’m gone
If you ask me,
I’m beautiful
And I upload a selfie so I see
Lo rich that you are’, that you are’
There are others that you have to learn
On the street I walk south
But, for you, I’m gone
If you ask me for it’
I look pretty pretty
Ey, ey
You’re not a baby
You’re a baby
Frikitona, ma’, if you notice
Le gustan los trio’ when it’s on the note
If the novice doesn’t serve, put it in your boot
Y, wow
Mami, tell me where I want it to be summed up
If you let me go, I’m
on my chest, I’m buzzing
If I want to, I have a baby
I betray you on plan B
Uff, mami, how rich did you see you
in 2000, listening to RBD
?
Mami, you are ‘elite, you don’t limit me’ (ok)
Let’s do what you love and levitate you
Dale pa’l escondite, don’t risk me’ (So)
That here I can’t reach the ‘satellite’
Mami, come up with something
Dame contenido
Ese culo, subelo má’ followed
Me paso jangueando a ver si coincidedo, ey
Y por fin doy contigo
Mai, nuestra’ bellaquera’, never olvido
No one like you to me has complacido
You believe that at all I always tell them the same
I want to cry, but I don’t stay still, ey
But, in confidence, trust me,
I say that I don’t care
, but when I sell it, it goes astray
Pa’ that to’ the world see
Lo rich that you are’, that you are’, ey
With you, I have to tighten
And on the street I walk south
But, for you, I quit
If you ask me for it’
I look pretty pretty
