Mentira
Merche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me fastidia todo el tiempo que perdí
Me da rabia recordar
Tu carita de inocente al verte allí
No me hizo sospechar
Parecía todo auténtico
Parecía todo mágico
Y el peor de mis días descubrí
Oh mentira, que todo era mentira
Las caricias que me dabas
Las palabras que decías
Mentira, que todo era mentira
Cada vez que me besabas
Otra boca tu sentías
Mentira
Oh
Y porque tuviste que elegirme di
Que es lo que te hice yo
Si quisiste aprovecharte de mi
Cometiste un gran error
Porque yo no tengo nada
Pensaste mal la jugada
Yo pude hacerte rico de amor
Pero ahora te largas
Ooh Mentira, que todo era mentira
Las caricias que me dabas
Las palabras que decías
Mentira, que todo era mentira
Cada vez que me besabas
Otra boca tu sentías
Mentira
El que me hayas engañado
Lo tomo como enseñanza
Como tú, nadie a mi lado
A la gente verdadera
Siempre doy la bienvenida
A ti, esa puerta te espera
Mentira, que todo era mentira
Las caricias que me dabas
Las palabras que decías
Ooh ooh ooh Mentira, que todo era mentira
Cada vez que me besabas
Otra boca tu sentías
Mentira
Oh
