Loca
Dance or die
Loca (Loca)

She′s playin' dumb all the time, just to keep it fun
To get you on like, "Ah!" Be careful, amigo
She′s talking and walking just to wake you up
She'd die for your love, but your love's only mine, boy
Yo sigo tranquila, like I′m on a beach in Anguilla
Sippin′ my Corona like it's nothin′ goin' on
I ain′t leavin' you alone, what is meant for me
No other girl is gonna take it, so give him up

And I′m crazy, but you like it, Loca, Loca, Loca
You like that it ain't easy, Loca, Loca, Loca
And I'm crazy but you like it, Loca, Loca, Loca
Crazy but you like it

That girl is a nutter
Hot girl, I heat up when I touch her
Chica Caliente, got me rapping to merengue
I feel so el presidente
I′m runnin′ shit and I'm lovin′ it
She's got a mean lil′ bopper, you should see what she does with it

She keeps it down low (down low, down low)
I can never get enough, oh no, oh no
She gives me the runaround, but I stay chasin'
But I mean, yo, I′m in love with a crazy girl
But it's all good, and it's fine by me
Just as long as I hear her say, "Ay, papi"

And I′m crazy, but you like it, Loca, Loca, Loca
You like that it ain′t easy, Loca, Loca, Loca
I'm crazy but you like it, Loca, Loca, Loca
And I′m crazy but you like it

You're the one for me, and for her no more
Though you think she got it all, I got my kiki
You′re the one for me, and for her no more
Though you think she got it all, I got my kiki

I guess she doesn't know the things that I′d do to please you
I take you to the malecón por el caminito
They saw your girlfriend looking for me with a rifle
'Cause, we're dancin′ Mambo, oh, what she don′t allow it?
I really can't help it if I make the lady Loca
I don′t want no trouble, I just wanna hit the— ooh!
And I'm crazy, but you like it
′Cause the kinda girl like me, they're running out of in the market (shh)

And I′m crazy, but you like it, Loca, Loca, Loca
And you like that it ain't easy, Loca, Loca, Loca
And I'm crazy but you like it, Loca, Loca, Loca
And I′m crazy, but you like it

¡Dios mío!
That girl is a (Loca)
That girl is a (Loca)
That girl is a (Loca) (it′s a madness)
Pure madness
Loca
That girl is a (Loca)
That girl is a (Loca)

You're the one for me, and for her no more
Though you think she got it all, I got my kiki

And I′m crazy, but you like it, Loca, Loca, Loca
And you like that it ain't easy, Loca, Loca, Loca
Loca (Loca)
Loca (Loca)

Overall Meaning

The song "Mishaps Happening" by Quantic is an upbeat and lively song about a crazy, unpredictable girl. The lyrics describe the playful and flirtatious behavior of this girl who keeps the guy interested in her by acting dumb and keeping things fun. She is also possessive and will do anything for his love. The chorus repeats that he is crazy for her but likes it because she is not an easy girl to have. The lyrics also mention merengue music and the malecón, a seawall in Havana, Cuba, adding to the Latin feel of the song.

The verses describe the guy’s infatuation with the crazy girl, who heats him up when he touches her and has a mean little bopper. He admits that she gives him the runaround, but he keeps chasing her. The bridge calls the girl a "loca" several times, emphasizing her unpredictable nature, and says that she is not the one for him, but he still enjoys her presence. The song ends with the repeated chorus and the girl being called a loca once more.
