Eeeeeeh nah nah nah 
Nah nah nah nah nah 

Cuentale, que el aroma de tu cuerpo 
Es testigo de un encuentro, why lo hicimos a lo lento (dale) 
Why dile, que esa huella de lapiz labial 
Fue cuando te dejaste besar, cuando me empesaste a cariciar (dale) 

Dicelo a la cara, por ella tu ya no sientes nada 
Yo soy la que tu siempre buscaba 
Cuando ella a ti no te apoyaba 
Why dile quien soy yo, la que lleno tu corazon 
La que llena tu vida, why lo demas pa' ti es mentira 

Dile quien soy yo negro, dile quien soy yo 
Tu sabes que hay una razon por la que me buscas mi amor, eeeh 
Dile que no se queje cuando yo le quite a su nene 
Cuando en la fulea me provoque why con mis amigas coja pal' azote 

Dicelo a la cara, por ella tu ya no sientes nada 
Yo soy la que tu siempre buscaba 
Cuando ella a ti no te apoyaba 

Cuentale, que la aroma de tu cuerpo 
Es testigo de un encuentro, why lo hicimos a lo lento (dale) 
Why dile, que esa huella de lapiz labial 
Fue cuando te dejaste besar, cuando me empesaste a cariciar (dale) 

Kuentale, si estas callado pa 
Es que en mi tu estas pensando pa 
Cuando llegas tarde a su lugar fue que me viniste a visitar 
Que siempre tu estas pensando en mi 
Que estoy hecha solo para ti 
Cada vez que llames why estoy ahi 
Tu sabes que cuentas con tu queen 

Dicelo a la cara, por ella tu ya no sientes nada 
Yo soy la que tu siempre buscaba 
Cuando ella a ti no te apoyaba 
Dile quien soy yo negro, dile quien soy yo 
Tu sabes que hay una razon por la que me buscaste amor, eeeh 

Cuentale, que la doma de tu cuerpo 
Es testigo de un encuentro, why lo hicimos a lo lento (dale) 
Why dile, que esa huella de lapiz labial 
Fue cuando te dejaste besar, cuando me empesaste a cariciar (dale) 

Dicelo a la cara, por ella tu ya no sientes nada 
Yo soy la que tu siempre buscaba 
Cuando ella a ti no te apoyaba 
Dile quien soy yo negro, dile quien soy yo 
Tu sabes que hay una razon por la que me buscas mi amor, eeeh(eeeeeh) 

llego la diva, mas na 
Pa'que no te diga 
Que abusadora pa 
Soy yo! eh 
Marchando
