María José Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Acaríciame con manos locas, enloqueceme
Con uñas y sonrisas, amame
Amor de amar, amor de piel

Acaríciame y ahogame en tus brazos, cuidame
Y matame despacio, mirame
No ves que estoy muriendome

Acaríciame tan suave como el aire amor
Tan fuerte como el huracan
Que ciega mi mente
Acaríciame y empapame de tu ternura amor
Contagiame de esa locura
Que hay en tu vientre

Acaríciame y robame como un diamante amor
Dominame como una amante
Despacio, constante

Acaríciame que estoy al rojo vivo
Tomame que soy todo latidos
Toda piel y se feliz teniendome

Acaríciame tan suave como el aire amor
Tan fuerte como el huracan
Que ciega mi mente
Acaríciame y empapame de tu ternura amor
Contagiame de esa locura
Que hay en tu vientre

Acaríciame tan suave como el aire amor
Tan fuerte como el huracan
Que ciega mi mente

Acaríciame, no tengas miedo a hacerme daño amor
Contagiame de esa locura
Que hay en tu vientre

Acaríciame
