Loca Por Ti
Merche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a veces pienso si volver
pero algo va mal, aunque quiera disimular
mis labios no besan igual que cuando te conoci.
Perdoname, sabes bien que te quiero
callate, no pretendo fingir
Te llamare, si no lo haces primero
Necesito tiempo, no este el momento
para decidir que no soy para ti.
Debo pensar, te mereces que te ame mas
Quiero ver si reacciono al pasar
una noche sin ti.
Perdoname, sabes bien que te quiero
callate, no pretendo fingir
Te llamare, si no lo haces primero
Demuestrame que estas loco por mi.
Tu loco por mi, tu loco por mi
Demuestrame que estas loco por mi
Yo loca por ti, yo loca por ti
Y se que volvere loca por ti
The song "Loca Por Ti" by Merche takes on the theme of a complicated and uncertain relationship. The opening lines suggest that the two partners may have been together for too long and the singer sometimes wonders if it is still the right thing to do. The conflict is further elevated when the singer admits that something is not quite right, and it requires an effort on her part to pretend that everything is still okay. Despite this, she longs for the passion and intensity of their earlier days together.
