Adicto a Ti
Bacilos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que vivo borracho y loco por ti
No importa que todos sigan creyendo
Que estoy enfermo de amor y es así
Tú me apagaste la luz
Tú me dejaste esta cruz
Que sigo enamorado
Detrás de tu juventud
Tú me tendiste una trampa
Caer fue inevitable
Y sigo aquí atrapado
No quiero que nadie me salve
(Es así) Gané, perdí, jugué todo por ti
(Es así) Lloré, bebí, mil noches sin dormir
(Y es así) Me he convertido en un adicto a ti
(Es así) Definitivamente adicto a ti
La gente me ve y me sigue diciendo
Que vivo borracho y loco por ti
No importa que todos sigan creyendo
Que estoy enfermo de amor, y es así
(Y es así) Gané, perdí, jugué todo por ti
(Y es así) Lloré, bebí, mil noches sin dormir
(Y es así) Me he convertido en un adicto a ti
(Y es así) Definitivamente adicto a ti
Me embrujaste poco a poco
Me fui volviendo un loco
Y ando perdido en la calle
Mostrando a todos tu foto
Para vivir contigo
Tendría que ser un santo
Yo no he perdido la fe
Sigo esperando un milagro
(Y es así) Gané, perdí, jugué todo por ti
(Y es así) Lloré, bebí, mil noches sin dormir
(Y es así) Me he convertido en un adicto a ti
(Y es así) Definitivamente adicto a ti
La gente me ve y me sigue diciendo
Que sigo borracho y loco por ti
Les digo que voy a seguir bebiendo
Hasta que por fin me curé de ti
Me dicen los amigos que he cambiado
Lo dice la señora del mercado
Me dice que estoy flaco y acabado
Pero eso no me quita lo bailado
Me dice mi mamá cuando me voy a desayunar
Me dicen mis amigas que me quieren ayudar
Baja la nota con esa loca
Baja la nota, que se te nota
La gente me ve y me sigue diciendo
Que sigo borracho y loco por ti
(Y es así) Gané, perdí, jugué todo por ti
(Y es así) Lloré, bebí, mil noches sin dormir
(Y es así) Me he convertido en un adicto a ti
(Y es así) Definitivamente adicto a ti
Definitivamente adicto a ti
