Mi colección de amores
David Bustamante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
vida,
Cristina era la chica ideal mezclando su dulce sonrisa con mi loca adrenalina,
Natalia provocaba las estrellas con solo mover sus piernas y sus caderas,
Lucia me arañaba el alma cada vez q me miraba
Sofia con sus fantasias, us embrujos y sus cartas
MI COLECCIÓN DE AMORES QUE ME HAN LLENADO EL ALMA CON TANTAS EMOCIONES QUE ME
HAN ROTO EL CORAZÓN.
ROBADO EL CORAZÓN.
Marta era letal con sus caricias en cada cita me encendía me dejaba a la deriba,
Elena preferia ser mi amiga y yo su compañía q amar de mentiras,
con Raquel llegue tan lejos q al final me pudo el miedo,
y Belen curó la herida con sus besos sin medida.
MI COLECCIÓN DE AMORES QUE ME HAN LLENADO EL ALMA CON TANTAS EMOCIONES QUE ME
HAN ROTO EL CORAZÓN.
MI COLECCIÓN DE AMORES,AUN SUEÑO CON SUS CARAS,SUS DÍAS Y SUS NOCHES ME HAN
ROBADO EL CORAZÓN.
