Eddie Santiago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y mi enfado va aumentando de igual manera
Esperando aquí por ti y no apareces
Ya los celos van cabalgando aquí en mi mente
Y a soltado en un eslabón de tu cadena
Mi cariño que hoy por ti va a romperse
Decidido hoy ya que estoy desengañado
Pues tus labios no son ya solo míos
Decidido hoy y hay vienes como si nada
No te dejare llegar
Vete pues ahora que vas a inventar
Vete sin decirme nada, no respondo mas
Vete si el te gusta, pues déjame en paz
Vete, vete no me busques mas
Vete pues ahora que vas a inventar
Vete sin decirme nada, no respondo mas
Vete si el te gusta, pues déjame en paz
Vete, vete no me busques mas
(Vete) ya no mereces, ni que te preste atención
(Vete) es el momento de sacudirme de tu cariño
(Vete) es el momento de sacudirme de tu cariño
(Vete) ahora que me vas a inventar si conozco tus mentiras
(Vete) vete, vete, vete no me busques mas
(Vete) no no no no no no no no no no no no no me vengas con cuentos
(Vete) arranca chica y vete de aquí
(Vete) si no te gusta pues punto y se acabo
(Vete) he decidido hoy que me voy de ti
(Vete) si tu amor ya dejaste voy a superarme
(Vete) no sabes amar lo tuyo es mentir
Es mas el que se va de aquí soy yo
