Merche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tuve que aprender
A sobrevivir en esta jungla
Fuiste de las que primero conoci
Me caiste bien
Y al poquito trabajamos juntas
Quizas me puedas acusar que sigo
Sigo siengo un poco clasica
Me faltan un millon de practicas
Tu historia dice que sigues tan fantastica
[Estribillo]
Y si hablas mal de mi
Peor para ti
Que si yo te hice sufrir
Dimelo a mi
Ay olvido tanto que
Hace siglos que olvide
Ea ea ea eee
Ea ea ea eee
Ea ea
Al principio cada cuento te crei
Lo supiste hacer
Con tu cara de angel y tu astucia
No quisiste valorar lo que te di
No lo hiciste bien
Deja ya de hecharme a mi la culpa
No sigas criticando todos
Dices que eres mas que tragica
Que pena tu amuleto lo has perdiste
Y ya no eres tan magica
Olvida de una vez
Me estas dando lastima
[Estribillo]
Y si hablas mal de mi
Peor para ti
Que si yo te hice sufrir
Dimelo a mi
Ay olvido tanto que
Hace siglos que olvide
Ea ea ea eee
Ea ea ea eee
Ea ea
Que si soy mala mujer
Dime por que
Como amiga me porte
Tu fuiste cruel
Demasiado perdone
Niña que te vaya bien
Ea ea ea e ....
Y si hablas mal de mi
Que si yo te hice sufrir
Que si soy mala mujer
Dime dime dime
Como amiga me porte
Demasiado perdone
Niña que te vaya bien
