Olhe eu aqui
Já cheguei meu amor
Quase que eu não vinha
Dei valor tudo bem
Acho que eu mereço você
Eu já vou vou de trem
Vem amor vem meu bem
Quero ser feliz
Bote fé ou não é
Você é um espetáculo
Eu não podia
Amar assim como eu te amei
Mas eu queria
Acreditar no amor
Eu saberia
Andar no jeito desse alguém
Se o nosso dia
Merece ser feliz
Hoje vou caminhando nessa vida
Hoje estou sem distância do amigo
Hoje sou o coringa
Do seu baralho
Também sou garimpeiro
Do amor
Você é um espetáculo.
