DEJAME AMARTE
Eddie Santiago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tenerte amarte besarte deja correr mis labios
Lentamente por tu cuerpo deja correr mis
Manos sutilmente sin recelo castigare
Tu vientre cabalgando en el deseo
Suspiraras tan fuerte reflejando que
Haz llegado a disfrutar la entrega
De tu cuerpo
Quisiera dijeras acepto hacerlo yo quiero
Tenerte amarte besarte deja correr mis labios
Lentamente por tu cuerpo deja correr mis
Manos sutilmente sin recelo castigare
Tu vientre cabalgando en el deseo
Suspiraras tan fuerte reflejando que
Haz llegado a disfrutar la entrega
De tu cuerpo
