Me delata la mirada
Hacerme el tonto, ¿Para qué?
Si a mí no me importa nada
Prefiero vivir y perder
Que no haber vivido nada
Si te vas
Quedaré en un dolor
Que jamás conocí
Como arena en el viento
Sin brújula, sin dirección
Pisado y sediento
Lo mismo que ver un humano
Sin alma en el cuerpo
Si te vas
Quedaré en un dolor
Que jamás concí
Andas en mi cabeza
Nena, a todas horas
No sé cómo explicarte
El mundo me da vueltas
Tú me descontrolas
No paro de pensarte
Por ti me la paso imaginando que
(Imaginando que) Contigo me casé (Oh yeah)
Y por siempre te amé (Love you girl, girl)
Andas en mi cabeza
Nena, a todas horas
(Cada segundo, cada minuto)
El mundo me da vuelta
Tú me descontrolas
Cada segundo, cada minuto
Por ti me la paso imaginando que
(Imaginando que) Contigo me casé (Oh yeah)
Y por siempre te amé
Imagínate que tú conoces lo que desconoces
Yo me convierto en lobo después de las doce
Si no tuviera mi loba para que la despose
Me voy con la manada hasta que me destroce
Porque en la calle hay mucha compe’ eh eh
Siempre lo bueno se corrompe eh eh
Pero me viene otra mujer aprovechándose
Cuando tú eres la que me encanta, chica
Nunca yo me atrevería a dejarte, sola
Chiqui, chiqui, chiqui, chica nunca, sola
Por ti yo guardé mi pistola
Las gatitas no me controlan
Estás dudando, yo lo sé
Pero me quieres a la vez
Solo pide que te dé my love
Que te dé my love, que te dé
Andas en mi cabeza
Nena, a todas horas
No sé cómo explicarte
El mundo me da vueltas
Tú me descontrolas
No paro de pensarte
Por ti me la paso imaginando que
(Imaginando que) Contigo me casé (Oh yeah)
Y por siempre te amé (I love you girl, girl)
Andas en mi cabeza
Nena, a todas horas
Cada segundo, cada minuto
Mi mundo me da vueltas
Tú me descontrolas
Cada segundo, cada minuto
Por ti me la paso imaginando que
(Imaginando que) Contigo me casé (Oh yeah)
Y por siempre te amé
Si tú te vas, se muere el amor
El que tú me das y llega el dolor
Seré un vagabundo, solo en este mundo
Sin rumbo, sin rumbo
Si tú te vas (Te vas), se muere el amor (Amor)
El que tú me das (Me das) y llega el dolor (Y llega el dolor)
Seré un vagabundo, solo en este mundo
Sin rumbo (Sin rumbo), sin rumbo
Tú eres mi musa, eres mi letra, tú eres mi armonía
Eres el agua que me ahoga en la melancolía
Chino y Nacho y Daddy Yankee, te trajeron esta melodía
Convertida en poesía bebé, para que goces y vaciles, tú ve
Romántico, pero le metemos brutal
Andas en mi cabeza
Nena, a todas horas
(D D D Y)
El mundo me da vueltas
Tú me descontrolas
(Chino y Nacho, baby)
Por ti me la paso imaginando que
(You know)
Contigo me casé
(El que produce solo)
Y por siempre te amé (I love you girl, girl)
Andas en mi cabeza
Nena, a todas horas
Cada segundo, cada minuto
Mi mundo me da vueltas
Tú me descontrolas
Cada segundo, cada minuto
Por ti me la paso imaginando que
(Imaginando que)
Contigo me casé (Oh yeah)
Y por siempre te amé
