Palavras
Gonzaguinha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Palavras, palavras, palavras
Eu já não aguento mais
Palavras, palavras, palavras
Você só fala, promete e nada faz
Palavras, palavras, palavras
Desde quando sorrir é ser feliz
Cantar nunca foi só de alegria
Com tempo ruim
Todo mundo também dá bom dia




Cantar nunca foi só de alegria
Com tempo ruim
