La Papa Sin Catsup
Gloria Trevi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Como te vuelva a ver de mariposa rondándolo
Hey güera
Ten cuidado porque voy y te armo un escándalo
No te atrevas a insinuarte ni de broma
Te lo advierto punto en boca
O te monto la de troya
Se que sueñas morder su corazón tierno arándano
Despierta
Nunca permitiré que vengas aquí a robármelo
Peleando como gata boca arriba
Pero mientras tenga vida
Nadie, nadie me lo quita
Me siento loca por él
Estoy tan loca por él
Que soy capaz de morder para defender su amor
Me siento loca por él
Loca, tan loca por él
Que no me importa poner la carne en el asador
Me dejaste
Y me dejaste bien dejada
Y ahora que estoy abandonada
Supe lo que perdí
Me dejaste
Como una papa sin catsup
Como una uña sin mugre
Y la mugre eres tú!
Me dejaste
Como un oído sin cerilla
Como un diente sin masilla
Y la masilla eres tú!
Me dejaste
Como la Bella Durmiente
Como camarón de la corriente
Y el corriente eres tú!
Me dejaste
Como un borracho sin tequila
Como un bebé sin su mamila
Y el mamila eres tú!
Me dejaste
Como una cueva sin osos
Como un nopal sin lo baboso
Y el baboso eres tú!
Me dejaste
Como a Tin-Tan sin su Camal
Como a Tarzán sin su puñal
Y el puñal eres tú!
Ahora me vengo
Me subo, me bajo
Me voy, me regreso
Me quiero y la paso brutal!
