Porque te ves tan triste y callado
Tus ojos no me engañan que ha pasado?
No vengas a sentirte ahora culpable
Nadie sospecha que sos amantes
Y crees que alguien nos descubrió

Apaga y vámonos
Apaga y vámonos

Esto se pone demasiado complicado
Apaga y vámonos
Apaga y vámonos
Nos sorprendieron con la masa en la mano

En que te basas para seguro
Este lugar es sórdido y oscuro
Me cuentas que ya tienen alguna fotos
De cuerpo entero que revelan todo

Que la sangre se te heló
La vergüenza te mató

Apaga y vámonos
Apaga y vámonos
Esto se pone demasiado complicado
Apaga y vámonos
Apaga y vámonos
Nos sorprendieron con la masa en la mano

Apaga y vámonos
Apaga y vámonos
Esto se pone demasiado complicado
Apaga y vámonos
Apaga y vámonos
Nos sorprendieron con la masa en la mano

Ya no quieres que sentirte como el gato y el ratón
Es mejor así la persecución terminó

Apaga y vámonos
Apaga y vámonos

Apaga y vámonos
Apaga y vámonos
Esto se pone demasiado complicado
Apaga y vámonos

Apaga y vámonos
Nos sorprendieron con la masa en la mano
