Tuviste algun problema y me buscaste otra vez
Me besas y te escapas con quien te hace volver
Me pones en aprietos, la espada y la pared.
¿Baby que te pasa no lo puedo entender?
Tuviste algun problema y me buscaste otra vez
Me besas y te escapas con quein te hace volver
Me pones en aprietos, la espada y la pared.
Me perdí la lotería
Una mala mía
Pero lo que hicimos en tu cuarto nunca se olvida
Bebé, una tontería
Ser quienes más deseamos sin ser nada todavia sin embargo
Ya se que caeré de nuevo
Me usas a tu antojo y me aprovecho de eso
Somos egoistas luego
De que nos tenemos no nos vemos en un tiempo
Entre los dos
Hubo quimica, fuego y tambien rock and roll
Conquistamos al mundo solo por diversión
Entre los dos
Potagonisamos una peli de acción
Vivo siendo libre encadenado a tu voz
Sigo pensando en los días
Que te tuve a mi lado y no lo valoré
Yo a ti te extraño todavía
Tiene mi inciales en toda la píel, y aun
No sé, si continuamos juntos escribiendo este cuento
Tal vez, el destino sabe que aun no es el momento.
Baby que te pasa no lo puedo entender?
Tuviste algun problema y me buscaste otra vez
Me besas y te escapas con quein te hace volver
Me pones en aprietos, la espada y la pared.
Baby que te pasa no lo puedo entender?
Tuviste algun problema y me buscaste otra vez
Me besas y te escapas con quein te hace volver
Me pones en aprietos, la espada y la pared.
Entre los dos
Hubo quimica, fuego y tambien rock and roll
Conquistamos al mundo solo por diversión
Entre los dos
Potagonisamos una peli de acción
Vivo siendo libre encadenado a tu voz
