Tenemos tremendo lio
Last night you didn't go a la casa de tu tio
Resulta ser hey you were at a party
Higher than the sky
Emborrachada de Bacardi
I bet you didn't know
Que conocia al cantinero
He told me you were drinking
And wasting my dinero
Talking About
Come and enjoy what a woman gives an hombre
(but first of all see i have to know your nombre)

But I really want to ask ya,
Que si es verdad (would i lie?)
And please, por favor, tell me la verdad
Because I really need to know, yeah
Necesito entender If you're gonna be a playa
Or be my mujer
Cause right now you're just a liar

I remember the day, Que tu me decias
Time and time again, Que tu me querias (i do)
And at the time, hey yo te creia

Alabao, que descara, is what ran through my mind
So I said let's go out tonight
She said (We go out all the time!)
Alabao, man!
Ella no sabia, that yo, I knew her plan
De que iba a salir with that other man
So I told the girl in spanish,
I said Hey, ya me voy
(Pero porque )
Cause you ain't treatin' me like I'm some sucker toy
Cause who needs you anyway, con tu lengua venenosa




(I need you! )
Today you tell me something y maana es otra cosa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mellow Man Ace's song Mentirosa describe a woman is being accused of being a liar and a cheater. The singer is suspicious that his girlfriend is cheating on him, and is angry that she is wasting his money on alcohol. He accuses her of being a liar and a "skeezer". He says that he used to believe her when she told him that she loved him, but now he knows the truth. He confronts her and demands that she tells him the truth about whether or not she is cheating on him.


The themes in the song include jealousy, deception, and distrust within a relationship. The song was a hit in the late 80s and early 90s, and it helped to popularize Latin-inspired hip-hop in the United States. Mellow Man Ace, whose real name is Ulpiano Reyes, was one of the earliest Latino rappers to break through to the mainstream. The song contains a number of Spanish phrases and slang terms, which were not commonly heard on American radio at the time.
