Controlate
Adalberto Alvarez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Estate quieto

No seas bobo

Controlate


No me la mires atravesada

Que no la vas a coger



Ella vino contigo

Bueno y que?

Pero ahora se va conmigo en firme



Oyelo bien



Tu no tienes problemas conmigo

Si no te los buscas



Echate pa'lla y deja ese jaleo





Echate pa'lla
