Maná Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y es que con solo un cachito, un pedacito de tu luz
Yo llegaría al cielo o me caería al suelo por ti amor
Oh, no, tan solo
Un cachito de tu corazón
Un adicto de tu corazón
Un cachito de tu corazón
Pedirle a mi cabeza que deje de pensar en ti
Es casi como pedirle a mi corazón que deje de latir (de latir)
Más bien olvida eso, no, no repitas eso te pido amor
tan solo
Un cachito de tu corazón
Un adicto de tu corazón
Un cachito de tu corazón
Soy un adicto de tu corazón
Chiquitita de mi corazón
Chiquitita de mi corazón
Chiquitita de mi corazón
Chiquitita de mi corazón
