Luiz Melodia
Vale Quanto Pesa

Quanto você ganha pra me enganar
Quanto você paga pra me ver sofrer
É quanto você força pra me derreter
Sou forte feito cobra coral
Semente brota em qualquer local
Um velho novo cartão postal, cartão postal
Aquela madrugada deu em nada, deu em muito, deu em sol
Aquele seu desejo me deu medo, me deu força, me deu mal
Ai de mim, de nós dois
Ai de mim, de nós dois
Vale quanto pesa, reza a lesa de nós dois
Ai de mim, de nós dois




Temos um passado já marcado não podemos mentir
Beijos demorados afirmados não podemos mentir
