Exagerado
RPM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amor da minha vida
Daqui até a eternidade
Nossos destinos foram traçados
Na maternidade

Paixão cruel, desenfreada
Te trago mil rosas roubadas
Pra desculpar minhas mentiras

Minhas mancadas

Exagerado
Jogado aos teus pés
Eu sou mesmo exagerado
Adoro um amor inventado

Eu nunca mais vou respirar
Se você não me notar
Eu posso até morrer de fome
Se você não me amar

E por você eu largo tudo
Vou mendigar, roubar, matar
Até nas coisas mais banais
Pra mim é tudo ou nunca mais

E por você eu largo tudo
Carreira, dinheiro, canudo

Até nas coisas mais banais
Pra mim é tudo ou nunca mais
