Te aprovechas
Limite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soy la sombra de tu vida
Tu me elevas y me tiras
Yo te sigo y me pisas sin reparar jamás en mi,
Bebo siempre de tu mano, soy oveja en tu rebaño
Y te odio y te amo, muy a pesar de mi.

No buscaré culpables yo lo soy
Porque cuando me llamas siempre estoy...dispuesta a todo.

Y te aprovechas, porque sabes que te quiero
Al sonido de tus dedos, a tus órdenes estoy,
Te aprovechas, porque sabes que aunque quiera
Nunca voy a estar afuera, del cristal de tu prisión.

Y me dejas, y me tienes cuando quieres
Me persigues si me quieres, soy tu presa cazador,
Me desgarras, y manejas a tu antojo
Y controlas mis enojos, a tu ley y convicciòn.

Y te aprovechas, porque sabes que te quiero
Al sonido de tus dedos, a tus órdenes estoy,
Te aprovechas, porque sabes que aunque quiera
Nunca voy a estar afuera, del cristal de tu prisión.

Y me dejas, y me tienes cuando quieres
Me persigues si me quieres, soy tu presa cazador,

Me desgarras, y manejas a tu antojo
Y controlas mis enojos, a tu ley y convicciòn.
