Oh, oh
(Pa’ tipos como tú-uh-uh-uh-uh)
Perdón, ya cogí otro avión
Aquí no vuelvo, no quiero otra decepción
Tanto que te la das de campeón
Y cuando te necesitaba diste tu peor versión
Sorry, baby, hace rato
Que yo debí botar ese gato
Una loba como yo no está pa’ novato’
Una loba como yo no está pa’ tipos como tú-uh-uh-uh-uh
Pa’ tipos como tú-uh-uh-uh-uh
A ti te quedé grande y por eso estás
Con una igualita que tú-uh-uh-uh-uh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Esto es pa’ que te mortifique’
Mastique’ y trague’, trague’ y mastique’
Yo contigo ya no regreso
Ni que me llores, ni me suplique’
Entendí que no es culpa mía que te critiquen
Yo solo hago música, perdón que te salpique
Me dejaste de vecina a la suegra
Con la prensa en la puerta y la deuda en Hacienda
Te creíste que me heriste y me volviste más dura
Las mujeres ya no lloran, las mujeres facturan
Tiene nombre de persona buena
Claramente no es como suena
Tiene nombre de persona buena
Claramente
Es igualita que tú-uh-uh-uh-uh
Pa’ tipos como tú-uh-uh-uh-uh
A ti te quedé grande y por eso estás
Con una igualita que tú-uh-uh-uh-uh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Del amor al odio hay un paso
Por acá no vuelva’, hazme caso
Cero rencor, bebé, yo te deseo que
Te vaya bien con mi supuesto reemplazo
No sé ni qué es lo que te pasó
‘Tás tan raro que ni te distingo
Yo valgo por dos de 22
Cambiaste un Ferrari por un Twingo
Cambiaste un Rolex por un Casio
Vas acelerao’, dale despacio
Ah, mucho gimnasio
Pero trabaja el cerebro un poquito también
Fotos por donde me ven
Aquí me siento un rehén, por mí todo bien
Yo te desocupo mañana y si quieres traértela a ella, que venga también
Tiene nombre de persona buena (uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
Claramente no es como suena (uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
Tiene nombre de persona buena (uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
Y una loba como yo no está pa’ tipos como tú-uh-uh-uh-uh
Pa’ tipos como tú, uh-uh-uh-uh
A ti te quedé grande y por eso estás
Con una igualita que tú-uh-uh-uh-uh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
A ti te quedé grande y por eso estás
Con una igualita que tú, uh-uh-uh-uh (it’s a wrap)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Ya está, chao
