No te gusta como soy, siempre me quieres cambiar
Como me visto, como me veo, como me muevo al bailar
No te gusta como soy ni como voy, ni como digo lo que pienso sin pensar
No te gustan mis amigos, mis primos, la música que me gusta escuchar
Si no te gusta como soy soy soy
Pa' que me sigues para aquí, para allá
Para e'lante p'atrás
Pa' ponerme a pelear
No me digas que eres feliz conmigo, feliz conmigo
Si te sientes atrapada, en que película rara
Con este tipo complicado medio pesado que no se sabe expresar
Abre los ojos de una vez, nadie te obliga a sufrir
La vida es corta, la vida es bella cuando se aprende a vivir
Si no te gusta como soy soy soy,
Dime que haces a mi lado
Pa' que me sigues para aquí, para allá
Para e'lante p'atrás pa ponerme a pelear
No me digas que eres feliz conmigo, feliz conmigo
The lyrics to Bacilos's song Feliz Conmigo express the conflicts that arise in a relationship when one person is trying to change the other to fit their ideal version of them. The person being changed begins to feel trapped and asks why their partner is still with them if they are not happy with who they are. The singer urges their partner to open their eyes and realize that they do not have to suffer in a relationship that does not bring them happiness. The message is clear: if you do not like who I am, do not pretend to be happy with me.
The song's upbeat rhythm and catchy chorus contrast with the somber message of the lyrics. It is interesting to note how the music draws the listener in, while the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. Bacilos creates a sense of tension in the listener that makes them feel the need to find out what will happen next.
