No Me Das Miedo
Merche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y estás cerquita del cielo.
Y aunque vas de interesante,
Se te está viendo el plumero.
Me pides que no me vaya,
Y pese a ver tus obsesiones,
De tus gestos, tus palabras.
Me da igual que me presiones.
No me das miedo, no.
No te voy a tener.
Yo por la piedra no paso ni una sola vez, no.
No aguanto más, me voy donde me quieran bien.
Solito me perdiste, solita me escapé,
No me das miedo.
Si me ves muy gaditana, me pides disimularlo.
Y si estamos cara a cara, lo que hago es exagerarlo.
Te acerca sólo a escondidas
Y me dices susurrando que puedes cambiar mi vida.
No sigas amenazando,
Que ganaré la partida yo.
No me das miedo, no.
No te voy a tener.
Yo por la piedra no paso ni una sola vez, no.
No aguanto más, me voy donde me quieran bien.
Solito me perdiste, solita me escapé,
No me das miedo.
No me das miedo, no.
(No me das miedo)
No te voy a tener.
(No te voy a tener)
Yo por la piedra no paso.
(No paso, no paso)
Ni una sola vez, no.
No aguanto más me voy
(No aguanto más me voy)
Dónde me quieran bien.
(Dónde me quieran bien)
Solito me perdiste.
(Solito, solito)
Solita me escapé.
No me das miedo
