Denguinho
Karametade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tô precisando daquele denguinho
E desejando deitar no seu colinho
Trocar mil beijos com toda emoção
Meu bem-querer
Ai, saudade dessa tua boca
Não sei conter essa vontade louca
Que bate forte dentro do coração
Ó meu amor!
O nosso amor é feito de improviso
Se bobear, eu perco até o juízo
É tão gostoso o nosso coquetel de prazer
Tem tudo a ver
À meia-luz, nós dois na intimidade
A dose certa da felicidade
Vamos amar até o amanhecer
Me dá, me dá
Mas um pouquinho desse teu chamego
Não vá embora, pois ainda é cedo
Eu faço tudo pra você ficar, chega pra cá...
Me dá, me dá
É tão gostoso o nosso vai-e-vem
Pode deixar não conta pra ninguém
Nossa paixão não vai se acabar
