Tereza
Taranatiriça Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quero que você seja a minha televisão
Eu fico te olhando, eu fico imaginando
Eu posso até perder a razão

Mas não me importo, tenho o controle remoto
Mas não me importo não, tenho o controle remoto
Mas não me importo, tenho o controle remoto
Mas não me importo, tenho o controle

Vejo na horizontal

Aumento o volume
Eu posso até trocar de canal
