Mueve la cosita
Mueve la cosita
Esa chica mira me da calambre
Su mirada coqueta me da calambre
Mi cuerpo se dobla como si fuera un
Alambre
Ella me tiene alocao
Yo soy su cachorrito, ella me tiene
Hechizao
Me dice negrito mira ponme de lao
Debajo para arriba yo me anoto un
Virao, pao
Y sólo mira soy aquel baby
Que te hipnotiza
Hago en la cama
Todo lo que tu me pidas
Crazy girl grítame que me excita,
Yah yah
Mueve la cosita, la cosita

Sígueme sigue el ritmo que esta

Esa chica si ta buena, para mover la

Muévela mueve la cinturita
Muévela muévela suavecita, Ay que rica
The lyrics to Ilegales' song "La Cosita" speak to the sexual attraction that the singer feels towards a woman who makes him feel a powerful electric sensation. He describes how his body reacts to her coquettish gaze, using the metaphor of bending like a wire. He is bewitched by her, and he refers to himself as her little puppy, completely under her spell. She asks him to move her to the side and even upside down, and he is eager to please her and satisfy her desires. He loves how crazy she drives him, and he invites her to move her "little thing" to the rhythm that he is listening to. In the chorus, the singer repeats to "move the little thing" repeatedly, urging the listener to follow the rhythm of the song and to move their body along with it.
The lyrics to "La Cosita" display a lot of energy and enthusiasm towards the idea of dancing and sexual attraction. The singer is consumed by the woman's power over him and is willing to do anything to satisfy her. He invites the listener to join in the fun and to follow along with the beat. Despite being a party song, the lyrical content does not suggest any kind of objectification or violence against women. Instead, there is a sense of mutual pleasure and enjoyment.
