Asi como llegas te vas, bombon
bonita hora que te da por llorar
llorate esto, llora este dolor
dolores vienen y van pero no el amor

Te vienes encima de mi vida, bombon
bonita manera de llegar
Llegarás a ver tu boca crecer

crecerán las mentiras que me das

Y algo si que me supiste dar
darme en la cabeza que ya está hinchá'
hincha del planeta, hincha del sol
soltame las riendas, de aquí me largo yo

Y hoy el teléfono no es ring ring
y mi corazón no da ton ton
y mis pasos no tienen son son
ya no eres mi bombón (x2)

Ya no eres mi bombón bombón(x4)

te vienes encima de mi vida, bombón
bonita manera de llegar
Llegarás a ver tu boca crecer
crecerán las mentiras que me das

Y algo si que me supiste dar
darme en la cabeza que ya está hinchá'
hincha del planeta, hincha del sol
soltame las riendas, de aquí me largo yo

Y hoy el teléfono no es ring ring
y mi corazón no da ton ton
y mis pasos no tienen son son
ya no eres mi bombón (x2)

Ya no eres mi bombón (x6)

Que no, que no, que no, que no, que no,
ya no eres mi bombón (x3)

Tracatra tan chanchan
