Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Canta pra mim
Vamos lá, de mala e cuia
Todo mundo
Na minha casa
'Tá sobrando espaço
Guardei de mim um pedaço
Na minha casa
'Tá sobrando rede
Sobra torno na parede
E amor pra dar e vender
Na minha casa
Toda hora é hora
A gente ri a gente chora
A gente se diverte
E nesse flerte você botando
As unhas de fora
Nosso amor não demora
E logo acontece
Na minha casa
Toda hora é hora
A gente ri a gente chora
A gente se diverte
E nesse flerte você botando
As unhas de fora
Nosso amor não demora
E logo acontece
Pode vir
De mala e cuia amor
Que eu não vou 'tá nem aí
Pro povo
Nosso amor 'tá cobiçado
E não vai ser maltratado
Por ninguém de novo (canta pra mim, quero ouvir)
Pode vir
De mala e cuia amor
Que eu não vou 'tá nem aí
Pro povo
Nosso amor 'tá cobiçado
E não vai ser maltratado
Por ninguém de novo
Valeu
